Hello everybody and welcome back to a new chapter! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I want to start off by saying I'm REALLY sorry for not updating for the past month, but I have been working constantly and I've just been tired. I also recently my second dose of vaccine and that made me like garbage on the weekend.

I know a lot of people kept on asking when I'm updating and I always kept saying HOPEFULLY by this Friday or the next Friday, and I know I let some of you down when there wasn't an update on those days. ｡ﾟ･ (﹏) ･ﾟ｡

Again, I apologize for the delays but now here's a new chapter!＼(٥⁀▽⁀ )／

Enjoy ～('▽^人)

Oingo's Khnum and Boingo's Thoth

It had taken a couple of hours for the Crusaders to reach Aswan and everyone except Joseph were having their wounds taken care of. Polnareff and Jotaro were good to go but Avdol and Noriko had to stay in the hospital for the night. They bid farewell to Avdol and went over to Noriko's room. Noriko was still unconscious and the nurses were checking up on her. They had wrapped a bandage around her head, covering her eyes.

"How is she?" Joseph asked one of the nurses.

"She's very lucky, sir." The nurse said with a smile. "The doctor who examined her eyes said she'll be ready to go tomorrow in the morning. He said that whatever scratched her didn't get her pupils, instead it got her eyelids."

The corner of Jotaro's lips curled up, he was relieved to hear the news.

"Her bandages can come off tomorrow." The other nurse said. "We'll be going now."

The two nurses left the room, leaving the group with Noriko.

"Well, looks like she won't wake up until morning." Joseph said and glanced at his watch to check the time. "I know it's already late but we'll head to a mechanic shop nearby before they close to fix the buggy then check in at a hotel. Let's get going."

Polnareff turned and walked out of the room and before Joseph could leave, he placed a hand on his grandson's shoulder.

"If you have something to tell her, it's best to tell her now before we resume our trip." He said.

"What are you talking about, Old Man?" Jotaro asked.

"You know what I'm talking about." Joseph looked at his grandson. "Your feelings for her. We don't know if we'll get lucky like this again. It might be worse next time."

Jotaro glanced back at Joseph.

"I've noticed your feelings for her for a while. It's best to tell her now how you feel before it's too late. You don't want to regret it later on like me."

Jotaro raised his brows.

"If you're wondering if she feels the same, I'm one hundred-percent sure she does. It's obvious from the way she looks at you, just like how you look at her." Joseph gave Jotaro a smirk and walked out of the room, closing the door behind, leaving the two teens alone.

Jotaro remained in the room alone with Noriko, staring at her. He silently walked over to her and sat on the edge of the bed. He grabbed her soft-delicate hand into his calloused one.

The girl began to stir awake. "Ngh…"

Jotaro raised his brows, watching the girl as she tried to sit up but he immediately put his hand on her shoulder to prevent her from getting up.

"Huh? Who-" Noriko tried to reach for her bandage that was wrapped around her head but she felt a tug on her hand.

"W-Where am I?"

"You're in the hospital." Jotaro replied.

"J-Jojo?!" She was happy to hear his voice again, her heart began to race from feeling his hand on hers.

"You must've defeated the enemy then… It's good that you're okay." A smile appeared on her face and oh how much Jotaro missed seeing that.

"Where's everyone? Are they all right? And why can't I see anything? A-Am I blind?" The thought of never being able to see again terrified Noriko.

"Gramps and Polnareff just left the room, I'll meet up with them in a few minutes. Everyone's fine, you and Avdol have to stay in for the night. And luckily no, the enemy only scratched your eyelids, not your actual eyes." Jotaro answered.

"Thank goodness everyone is okay." Noriko said in relief, placing a hand on her chest. "And that's great news that my eyes are fine too."

"You'll be discharged in the morning and remove your bandages." Jotaro added.

"That's wonderful to hear, but what about Avdol?"

"They haven't said anything about his condition yet but I'm sure he'll pull through. Right now the two of you need as much rest as possible before you can leave in the morning." Jotaro began to caress her hand with his thumb.

Noriko simply nodded, enjoying his touch.

The two stayed quiet for a moment. Jotaro was thinking back about what his grandfather told him minutes ago. Giving it some thought, he decided to do it.

"JoJo…"

"Noriko…"

They both said at the same time.

Noriko chuckled, "Go ahead, JoJo…"

Jotaro slightly applied pressure on her hand, "Noriko, I…" He never realized how difficult this would be. He isn't the type of person to express how he feels, he's always been the action speaks louder than words type of guy. He's never confessed to anyone before but he's had many girls confess to him. None of them caught his interest except for Noriko. She's been the only one to capture his heart.

This is all new to him. All these feelings and emotions he feels for the girl is something he never experienced before. But she was the only one to bring them out from him.

"What is it, Jotaro?" Noriko asked with concern, breaking him off his thoughts.

Since saying it was already difficult, he decided to just go for it and hoped for the best. Jotaro cupped the girl's cheek and leaned forward, pressing his chapped lips against hers.

Emotions rushed through their bodies from the intimate contact. Noriko returned the kiss by opening her mouth, allowing his tongue to enter as it battled for dominance. This was the first time she has ever kissed someone, the same going for Jotaro. It was a bit awkward but they got the hang of it.

Their lips separated after what felt like hours, though it's only been a minute or less. Their foreheads touched as they tried to catch their breath from their kiss. Sadly Noriko couldn't see Jotaro's face as much as she wanted to but she knew was blushing like a cherry. And she wasn't the only one blushing, so was Jotaro.

Noriko smiled and placed her hand on top of his. Her heart was racing and felt butterflies in her stomach.

"I love you too, JoJo…" She muttered.

Jotaro smiled, "Good…" He said. "Get some rest, the Old Man, Polnareff and I will be heading to a shop to fix the vehicle. I'll come back when we're done."

"You guys are not staying in a hotel for the night?"

"We are but I would rather stay here with you by your side instead of being at the hotel."

Those words made the girl blush again. "T-That's very sweet of you JoJo but I'm fine. You should sleep on a bed not on a chair in the hospital. I'll feel bad."

"Don't. I'm doing it because I want to. I want to make sure you're safe and nothing harms you. I want to keep you safe."

Noriko smiled, "Thank you, JoJo…"

After kissing her forehead goodbye and promising to see her later, Jotaro closed the door behind him. He spotted his grandfather standing by the door with his arms crossed.

"See? Was that so hard?" Joseph teased with a grin.

"Shut up." Jotaro replied, holstering his hands in his pockets, walking past Joseph.

He stopped after a few steps and looked back at Joseph.

"Hey, Old Man…"

"Hmm?"

"You said earlier, 'You don't want to regret it later on like me', what did you mean by that? You have Grandma Suzie don't you?" Jotaro asked.

Joseph closed his eyes with a sigh, "Fifty-years ago, I had a friend who was hot-blooded but focused. She took pride in her family name and if anybody disrespected it she would snap and start a fight. Our relationship wasn't so great at first, she hated me as much as I hated her. But since we had to work together to fight off these Pillar Men, our friendship basically grew from there. I knew I started to like her and she felt the same way too because Suzie Q had told me. But, we had gotten into an argument and that argument led to us fighting and saying hurtful words. I didn't apologize to her and she didn't know my feelings for her but I knew deep down what I had said broke her heart. She was hurt but determined, she went to fight off one of the enemies on her own. That battle cost her life, she sacrificed herself to give me an advantage. I never told her how I felt but she was able to help me defeat the enemies."

Jotaro remained silent for a moment before he spoke. "I see what you mean. You wanted me to tell her my feelings in case something happens to her through this trip so I wouldn't regret it."

Joseph simply nodded.

"I don't regret marrying Suzie Q, she has made me happy when I was at my lowest. She cared and helped me when I was bedridden for a while. I was slowly falling in love with her while I was recovering." He added. "Suzie Q refused to be with me at first because she felt like she was betraying her best friend who was like a sister to her. But I think Ceasarina would rather have Suzie Q be with me than anybody else." He chuckled.

"Anyway, enough about my past. Let's get going and fix the buggy."

They went to meet Polnareff in the waiting room and left the hospital that evening.

Meanwhile Noriko overheard Joseph's conversation about his past with Jotaro. She wasn't surprised that Joseph convinced Jotaro to confess. After all, he told her back in Pakistan in the hotel that Enyaba ran that Jotaro had taken a liking to her. She suspected he'd been wanting them to hook up for a while.

A smile appeared on her face and her fingers touched her lips, missing the delinquent's lips on her own already.

The following morning, two brothers took a bus to Aswan. It took an hour to reach the city and on their way to the station, looking out the window, they spotted the Crusaders as they passed by them.

"It's them." The older brother pointed out while the younger one was reading his book.

A grin spread across the young brother and glanced at his older sibling. "B-Big bro…"

"Hm?" The older brother turned to him and grabbed the book. He read the page and chuckled.

"So all we gotta do is poison them, huh?" He said.

The two brothers were dropped off and walked over to a cafe that was in the book.

"Little bro…" The older brother spoke. "Together we're invincible! With your comic Stand that predicts the future and my Stand…" He touched his face and deformed it, transforming into a different face. "...which transforms my face."

The little brother jumps onto his brother's shoulder.

"They'll be dead meat!" The older one continued. "Our cards are the God of Knowledge, Thoth, and the God of Creation, Khnum! We're the Oingo Boingo Brothers!"

Inside the cafe, the owner was humming to himself at the register, minding his business when suddenly a pan struck the back of his head, knocking the man out.

Boingo, the young brother, dragged the owner's body to the back while Oingo cleaned up the blood. Once that was done, Boingo looked through his book, finding a page that had the picture of the cafe.

"It's definitely at this cafe…" Oingo said as he took the book from his brother's hands. "...and this is the table..." He briefly glanced at the table. "...where they'll drink the poisoned black tea." He hands the book back to Boingo.

"Th-The predictions made by my Stand, the God of Knowledge, Thoth, always come true…" Boingo said.

Meanwhile with the Crusaders, they were walking around a district filled with shops and cafes.

"How's Avdol doing?" Polnareff asked while smoking a cigarette.

"Avdol's neck wound isn't anything serious, the doctors said he would most likely be released tomorrow." Joseph replied. He looked at the red-haired teen who was between him and Jotaro.

"You're quite fortunate too, Noriko!" Joseph added with a grin, patting her head.

"Indeed, Mr. Joestar." Noriko said with a chuckle.

"I would've felt more guilty if you had gone blind. After all, it was my fault you got hurt. I should've just listened to you." Polnareff softly said.

Noriko halted and glanced at Polnareff. She smiled, "I'll think about your punishment later. I'm just glad we're all safe."

"Punishment?!" Polnareff shouted.

"Since there's a lot of cafes here, why don't we all get a drink and relax a bit?" Joseph suggested, ignoring Polnareff's shout.

"That sounds like a great idea, Mr. Joestar." Noriko said.

Jotaro simply nodded, agreeing with his grandfather.

"But which one do we go to?" Noriko asked.

"Easy. I'll have my cigarette pick the place." Polnareff said and flicked the cigarette in the air.

The cigarette fell next to a piece of paper but it pointed to a cafe in front of them named Maxim.

"My cigarette picked that one."

The group walked inside the cafe and sat down.

"By the way, did you guys hear about a bus accident not too far from the city?" Polnareff asked.

"No."

"The doctors and nurses were talking about it while Noriko was being discharged. Apparently a bus collided with a truck and a few people were thrown off the bus. The police even found one of them impaled into a pole."

"That's terrible…" Noriko grimaced. "So that's why there were a lot of doctors and nurses in a hurry today…"

A tall man with dark hair wearing an apron over his clothes approached the group.

"Welcome." He greeted them. "What can I get for you?" He had a dark sinister look that nobody seemed to notice.

"I would like some black tea." Polnareff ordered.

"Same." Jotaro said.

"Me too." Noriko said.

"So four black teas? Alright…" Oingo said before turning around and walking towards the counter.

"No, it's better that we don't." Joseph said, making Oingo stop.

"Huh?! But why-?!"

"Listen," Joseph interjected, raising a hand. "Egypt is enemy territory. More enemies are lurking around us than ever before, and we don't know where or when they'll attack. We have to be careful about poisoned goods. From now on, only drink from bottles or cans."

"What? You can't be serious, Mr. Joestar." Polnareff complained.

"He has a point, Polnareff." Noriko said.

"And yes I'm being serious." Joseph added and turned to the 'owner'. "Hey, forget the black teas, just bring us colas instead."

Oingo shook his head, "COLA?!"

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Jotaro asked, looking at the man suspiciously.

"N-No problem at all!" Oingo stammered, his hands raised in defense. "Four colas coming right up." He turned around and walked over to the fridge.

"By the way, we'll remove the caps off ourselves at the table. Also, make it the third, fourth, fifth and sixth colas from the right." Joseph told the man.

"C-Colas with the caps on?!" Oingo thought. "I won't be able to poison them! Was the prediction wrong? No…my little brother's predictions have always been right! I-I just have to believe! If I, his big brother, don't give my all to fulfill our destiny, we'll never defeat them!"

"Big brother, my predictions are absolute!" Boing thought.

"Hey manager!" A customer sitting across the room shouted, standing up from his chair. "This cola is warm! You think you can get away with this by seving me warm cola?! You can't make me pay for that, jackass!" He slammed the cola back on the table and walked away from the establishment.

"The colas are not cold?" Joseph asked the owner.

"Th-The refrigerator is broken, I apologize." Oingo said.

"You're being too paranoid, Mr. Joestar." Polnareff said.

"And you're being too careless." Noriko shot back.

"Okay, listen," Polnareff continued, "If that guy is our enemy and was trying to poison us, how the hell would he know we would be coming to this exact cafe? There's loads of cafes around here and we randomly decided on this one. There's no way they tracked us down here."

"All I'm saying is that it doesn't hurt to be careful." Joseph said.

"If you're really that concerned, Mr. Joestar, we can go somewhere else." Polnareff suggested. "Let's go to the cafe across the street."

The group stood up and before they could leave, they spotted the other cafe on fire.

"MY CAFE IS ON FIRE!" The owner of the cafe screamed with panic. "Some asshole left their cigarette on the road and it spread to the trash!"

"Hey, Manager," Joseph turned to the owner, "We'll have those four black teas after all."

Oingo glanced at them in shock while Boingo hid behind the counter.

"W-We did it…" Boingo said in relief.

The Crusaders sat back down on the table and Oingo brought their black teas. He settled it on the table and walked off but he looked over his shoulder to make sure they would drink the tea.

"Man, for someone to leave a lit cigarette near the trash, what kind of asshole would do that?" Polnareff said, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Gees, Polnareff, I wonder who." Noriko said sarcastically.

All four of them picked up their cups and moved it towards their lips. Oingo and Boingo held their breaths as they watched. They sipped their tea until…

"AH! That damn dog took my cake!"

"Who the hell let a dog in here?!"

The four Crusaders spat out their tea and shot a glare at Iggy.

"Iggy!" They growled under their breath.

"Whose dog is this?!" The woman asked, throwing the plates at the Boston Terrier.

"Get this fucking dog out of here!" The woman's companion shouted.

Iggy ran off from the cafe, making the Joestar group stand up from their seats and chase after the small dog.

"Dammit, Iggy!" Joseph shouted.

"Stop, you fucking dog!" Polnareff yelled.

Inside the cafe, Oingo slammed his fist on the table as Boingo came out from the back.

"Damn it! We were so close!" Oingo shouted. "It was right into their mouths! Tch, that damn dog…" He looked over to his brother. "What's supposed to happen next?"

"I-It doesn't say yet." Boingo answered, flipping through the pages. "B-But the prediction wasn't wrong, Thoth can only see the very near future."

Oingo formed his hand into a fist, "This time will take full advantage of your prediction and kill them for sure!" He said, getting more determined. "Because we're the Oingo Boingo Brothers!"

After chasing Iggy and failing to capture him, Joseph suggested buying some supplies such as food and water for the trip.

"Actually, Noriko and I wanted to head back to the hospital and check up on Avdol." Jotaro stated.

"We did?" Noriko asked with a raised brow but was ignored when Jotaro immediately grabbed her hand, taking her with him.

"Be careful and take care of her, Jotaro!" Joseph said, giving them a wink.

Noriko blushed and Jotaro let out a good grief.

Once alone and were far enough, they stopped in the middle of the sidewalk.

"So…" Noriko began. "Are we heading to go visit Avdol?"

"Yeah," Jotaro replied. "I just…" He pulled the brim of his hat down, covering his eyes. His cheeks were burning pink and turned his head to the side.

"I just wanted to spend some alone time with you first before we get there." He admitted.

Noriko's cheeks turned red and looked elsewhere.

"I-I see…" She said.

She felt a calloused hand cup her cheek, making her turn her head and felt Jotaro's warm lips on hers.

Their kiss lasted a moment and they stared at each other's eyes lovingly.

"I wanted to ask you this yesterday but I wanted to wait until your bandages were off and when nobody's around."

"What is it?" Noriko asked.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

The question made the red-haired teen gasp, her heart was racing and felt butterflies in her stomach.

Since childhood Noriko has always been alone, her peers wouldn't understand her nor her parents because of her Stand. But that feeling stopped the moment she met Jotaro. She felt happy and she was able to be her true self throughout this journey.

Noriko smiled, placing her hand over his, "Yes. I would love to be your girlfriend, JoJo."

Jotaro smiled and smashed his lips against hers.

Back with Polnareff and Joseph, they were finally heading back to the dune buggy after buying their supplies. As they conversed, Polnareff spotted someone inside their vehicle.

"Hey! Who the hell are you?!" Polnareff demanded, holding a bag of oranges.

"Could it be Jotaro and Noriko?" Joseph wondered.

"No it can't be! Jotaro said they were heading to the hospital. Unless…" Polnareff then gasped in realization. "You two are too young to be doing stuff like that!"

Joseph also gasped, "Jotaro! Noriko! You two are too young to be having children!"

They both rushed over to the car.

"C-Crap! It's Joestar and Polnareff!" Boingo cursed under his breath, hiding behind a fire hydrant.

His brother, Oingo, broke the lock to the dune buggy to get inside and plant a bomb disguised as an orange. Apparently Boingo's Stand predicted that Jotaro would die from it.

"Stop it you two! At least do it somewhere private like in the hotel or something!" Polnareff shouted.

"Get out of the vehicle this instant!" Joseph yelled.

They see the top of someone's hat peeking out from the vehicle.

"Good grief, why are you both panicking? It's just me."

It was Jotaro, or so that's what Polnareff and Joseph think. In reality it's Oingo who transformed himself into Jotaro at the last minute.

Polnareff and Joseph were relieved that it wasn't a stranger.

"Oh, it's just you Jotaro." Joseph said then he and Polnareff walked over to him.

Oingo silently chuckled to himself, "My Stand, Khnum, is a transforming Stand. I can change my height, weight and even smell to whatever I want. I made the hat by transforming my hair."

"Where's Noriko?" Polnareff asked. "You said you two were heading to the hospital."

"H-Huh? U-Um…" The question caught Boingo off-guard.

Polnareff widened his eyes with a gasp, "Could it be...you two got into a fight? Is that it?"

"U-Uh n-no! I um...forgot something in the car so I came back for it!" Oingo said with a nervous smile. "It was my wallet, that's what I forgot! Gimme a break…"

"What about Noriko?" Polnareff queried.

"S-She u-um… she decided to go on without me! Y-Yeah…"

"Jotaro, what happened to your uniform?" Joseph asked, inspecting his grandson's clothes as he walked around him.

He was wearing a t-shirt with the name Khnum on it, a sleeveless jacket and jeans.

"S-School jacket?" Oingo stammered, blinking at the Old Man. "W-What? S-School jacket?"

"This isn't very fashionable for you, Jotaro." Polnareff quipped with a snicker.

Oingo then realized the question Joseph had asked him, "Ah! Right, I left my uniform at the cleaners!" He approached the car and leaned against it. "I took it to the cleaners but I had forgotten my wallet."

"T-That sounded like a good answer! Yeah!" Oingo thought to himself.

"Huh, I see…" Polnareff said, walking past Oingo. He reached over to the car's door handle, opening it. "Then let's hurry up and get in the car. We're leaving." He placed the bag of oranges in the back seat.

Oingo's eyes widened in horror. "Huh?!"

Boingo's eyes also widened. "Huh?! I-In the car?! N-No way…"

"No way! No way!" Oingo thought in shock. "The Jotaro who gets his head blown off in half is not the real Jotaro! T-That means… I-I-I-It's going to be me! Impossible!"

"Actually, Polnareff, I-I think I'll go for a stroll…" Oingo said and turned around to walk away but felt Polnareff's hand grab his shoulder.

"What the hell are you talking about, Jotaro?" Polnareff asked. "It'll be much faster to take a car from here." He then shoves 'Jotaro' inside the vehicle to the backseat.

"Big bro Oingo!" Boingo cried from a distance, watching the dune buggy drive off.

"C-Crap! T-This is bad!" Oingo told himself with his hands placed on the sides of his face. He was sweating and panicking. "I have to get out of this Jotaro disguise quickly! O-Otherwise I'll be the one blown up!"

He gasped in realization and looked over at the bomb disguised as an orange. "I-I know! I'll just throw the orange away!" He reached over to it. "I just need to get rid of the bomb then put it in the car later. That way the real Jotaro will blow up instead!"

He grabbed the orange and tossed it out of the dune buggy. He wiped the sweat off his face in relief with his eyes closed.

"Phew, I'm safe."

"Hey, it's Iggy!" Polnareff pointed out. "He must've jumped in the car while we were moving. He's got an orange in his mouth! Did you steal that Iggy? That would make a nice gift for Avdol."

Oingo opened his eyes and saw Iggy by the driver's window with an orange in his mouth that he just threw away.

"Wha-?!"

"HOLY COOOOW!" Oingo screamed.

"Holy cow?" The others asked, looking back at him.

"Since when did you start saying weird things like that, Jotaro?" Joseph asked, taking the orange away from Iggy.

"N-No...I-I meant…" Oingo stammered. "I-I just saw a cow in front of us!" He pointed.

Both men in the front turned their heads to see a cow with its owner walking down the sidewalk.

Polnareff took the orange off Joseph's hand and glanced back at 'Jotaro'. "Jotaro, you're acting really weird today. You look scared shitless. You aren't an imposter, are you?" He narrowed his eyes at him.

The question made Joseph suspicious as well. They both stare at 'Jotaro', waiting for a response while Iggy peacefully sleeps next to him.

"G-Give me a break. Just what the fuck are you talking about, Polnareff?" Oingo asked, pulling the brim of his hat down, covering his face. "Have we reached the hospital yet?" He then brushed it off with a chuckle.

Polnareff pulled out a cigarette and a lighter, placed the cigarette between his lips and lit it up. "Say, Jotaro, do that special trick of yours."

"Special...trick?" Oingo asked, raising his brows. "What is he talking about?!"

"You taught it to me. You know, like this!"

Polnareff opened his mouth wide enough to not get burned, the cigarette stood up between his tongue and teeth. He let the cigarette slowly fall back onto his tongue and closed his mouth successfully.

"Woah! Not half bad, Polnareff." Joseph remarked.

The Frenchman turned his body forward with his arms crossed and chuckled, smoking coming from his nostrils.

"R-Right, that's the trick you were talking about." Oingo nervously said. "I'm saved! If that's all there is to it, I can do it in spite of how dangerous it is!"

"Hell yeah, I'll do it!" Oingo stated. "It's a piece of cake."

"All right!" Polnareff averted his attention back to 'Jotaro'. "Do the one where you have five your mouth at once, Jotaro!"

Oingo widened his eyes, "F-FIVE?!"

"Just hurry up and do it." Polnareff said cheerfully, waving the orange he had in hand back and forth, not knowing it's a bomb. "I wanna see it again!"

"S-Shit! What kind of weird talent does this kid, Jotaro, have?!" Oingo thought. "I-If I can't do it, they'll become even more suspicious, and I'm acting strange enough already! Polnareff looks like he might start peeling the orange bomb at any time! G-God damnit! All right, I'll do it!"

Oingo placed the five cigarettes between his lips, "F-Five, right? Five…" He lit up all five cigarettes.

"Come on, Jotaro! Hurry up!" Polnareff said.

"I'll do this! I'm gonna do this! I just gotta do this, right? All right! My secret talent!"

Oingo opened his mouth wide, struggling a bit to make sure none of the cigarettes burned him nor fall off. All five cigarettes fell onto his tongue and he closed his mouth, he exhaled the smoke through his nostrils.

"I did it! I did it, damn it!" Oingo proudly told himself.

"Woooow!" Both Polnareff and Joseph were amazed.

"There! Did you see that?! I did it! People can do anything when their lives are at risk!" Oingo thought.

"Here." Polnareff held an orange juice in front of Oingo. "Last time you drank some juice without putting the cigarettes out."

"Hm?!" Oingo took the bottle from Polnareff. He looked at it for a moment and decided to go for it.

He let out a painful cry, failing what Polnareff told him to do and burned himself with the cigarettes.

"Aw man, you failed, Jotaro!" Polnareff whined.

"Jotaro, are you all right?! Oh my god!" Joseph asked, concerned if his grandson was okay.

Iggy woke up from the screaming and yelling then went back to sleep.

"Brother! Brother! Boingo! Make this prediction go away! Get rid of that page please!" Oingo pleaded.

Boingo, who was far behind, was still chasing the dune buggy. "Oingo! The prediction is absolute! Hurry up and take off your transformation! If you undo your transformation, the real Jotaro will get blown up! I know you can do it!"

Back in the vehicle, Polnareff turned back to Oingo.

"Jotaro, you're acting really weird today." The Frenchman said once more. "Are you sure you and Noriko didn't get into some kind of argument when you both left?"

"Why do you keep bringing up that girl?! Is there something going on between her and Jotaro?!" Oingo thought.

"Because if you both did then I can give you some relationship advice, after all, I had a lot of experience with women." Polnareff bragged with a smirk.

"R-Relationship advice?! N-No wonder! Jotaro and Noriko are dating?!" Oingo realized. "I had no clue! I guess it's a good thing she isn't here then, or else who knows how bad and embarrassing it could've gone…"

"N-No… I just feel a bit under the weather today, that's all." Oingo replied.

"Hmm…" Polnareff hummed under his breath.

Both Joseph and Polnareff stare at him suspiciously.

"S-Shit! Knowing them, once they get suspicious they're going to keep poking at me!" Oingo put his hands together. "If I undo the transformation, they'll beat me half to death! But if I don't, then I'll get killed by the bomb!"

An idea came into mind, "T-That's it! I'll just use feeling sick as an excuse. I'll say that I have a stomach ache and have them let me out of the car."

"Jotaro," Polnareff began. "The way you have your hands together."

"Hm?" Oingo looked down at his hands and Polnareff grabbed his wrists.

"You've got your left thumb on top!" Polnareff pointed out.

Oingo began to sweat again, "C-Crap! Does the real Jotaro always put his right thumb on top?! Dammit! What am I going to do?!" He panicked. "H-H-How am I going to fool them now?!"

Suddenly Polnareff burst out laughing, pointing at 'Jotaro'. "GAHAHA! The way you put your hands together proves that you were a woman in a past life!" He said and put his hands together. "My fortune said that since I put my right thumb on top, I was a man in a past life!"

"What, really?!" Joseph asked, taking off his hands from the wheel and also put his hands together. "I always put my left thumb on top, myself."

"Then you were definitely a woman in your past life, Mr. Joestar!" Polnareff chuckled.

"What do you mean, definitely?!" Joseph asked the Frenchman. "Just how the hell would you even prove that?! That's bullshit!"

The two men let out a laugh together while in the back Oingo was panicking and more anxious than before.

He placed a hand over his stomach, "M-My stomach really is starting to hurt. Being with these two is going to kill me! A-All right… I'll tell them about the stomach ache!"

Polnareff averted his attention back to the fake 'Jotaro', "Jotaro, let's see who can eat a whole orange faster."

"What?!" Oingo shouted.

Polnareff was about to peel the orange but Oingo tried to reach over to stop him.

"DON'T YOU DUMBASS!" Oingo shouted.

Polnareff pulled back instantly, looking at him surprised. "Woah! What the hell, Jotaro?!"

"What's wrong, Jotaro?" Joseph asked.

"I-It's nothing…" Oingo muttered, straightening his composure.

"You really are acting strange today…" Joseph said.

"Uh, that orange i-i-i-is probably spoiled now." Oingo stammered, pointing at the orange bomb.

"Huh? How?" Polnareff queried.

"W-Well… you know, that's the one Iggy picked up. It could've been floating in the gutter. Just get a different one."

"But this one isn't dirty or bruised. It looks fine to me." Polnareff said. "Whatever, I'll have this one, and you can have one of the others." He added with a smile.

"God, it hurts!" Oingo cried out, his arms wrapped around his stomach.

"H-Hey…"

"My stomach hurts! My stomach is fucking killing me!" Oingo shouted. "S-Stop the car! Hurry!"

"Your stomach hurts?" Polnareff asked.

Seeing that they were going to listen to him, he jumped to the front to escape through the passenger side.

"I can't stand it anymore! Lemme out! Lemme out!" Oingo kicked and squirmed around Polnareff's lap. "I'll do it behind a rock!"

"But the hospital's just over there, Jotaro." Joseph pointed at the hospital across from them.

"J-Just go ahead without me! Seriously, just go ahead!" Oingo climbed out of the car's window.

He was panting heavily on the ground but before he could stand up, he heard Polnareff call him out.

"Hold it, Jotaro!" Polnareff demanded.

For a moment Oingo stopped breathing, sweat dripping down his face. He believed he was already caught as the two Crusaders only stared at him.

"Take some toilet paper." Polnareff said, holding the toilet paper in hand.

Without saying a word, Oingo quickly grabbed it and ran off, fast. He had a huge grin on his face.

"I did it! I actually got away goddammit! Eat it dipshits!" He was running to a giant rock. "I can finally undo my transformation behind that rock!"

Back in the dune buggy, Joseph continued to drive off. Polnareff inspected the orange that Iggy had picked up.

"So Iggy picked this orange off the ground, huh? Maybe it really was in the gutter…" Polnareff said. "What should I do?"

"Throw it away?" Joseph suggested.

Polnareff glanced at it once more before shrugging his shoulders and tossed it out of the vehicle.

"Hooray! I can finally use Divine Khnum's power to undo my transformation!" Oingo cheered to himself. "Victory is mine! The Oingo Boingo Brothers win! Hehehaha! We win! HEHAHAHA-"

He stopped laughing when he stepped on something round. Looking down, he realized he stepped on an orange. But not just any orange, it was the same orange disguised as a bomb.

"OH FUCK!" Oingo screamed and the bomb exploded.

The explosion was already distant for the two Crusaders in the vehicle.

"Hm? What was that sound?" Polnareff wondered.

"Don't worry about it. Probably some construction or something." Joseph said.

"B-Big bro Oingo!" Boingo finally caught up to his brother but it was too late. "H-Hang in there!"

"W-We've lost, Boingo…" Oingo wheezed.

"N-No!" Boingo narrowed his eyes, tightening his comic book. "My Divine Thoth hasn't lost yet! I-I'll kill them myself!" He looked up at the sky.

Oingo was surprised by his brother's statement. He saw determination in him.

"Boingo…" Oingo thought.

He then furrowed his brows, "Don't, Boingo! Those guys aren't normal. It's impossible."

"I've already made up my mind! I'll do it on my own!" Boingo protested. "Just me!"

"You were always so shy, Boing…. You've grown up so much…" Oingo remarked, tears filling up.

"I'm gonna do it." Boingo said, determined and opened his comic book. "What's Thoth's next prediction?"

Suddenly a group of guys showed up behind Boingo.

"I finally found you…" One of the guys snarled. He wore glasses with an untucked-buttoned shirt. His face is covered with bandages and had messy hair.

"These are the guys! These two are the ones who hit me and stole my wallet!" He told the men behind him.

"Fellas! If you beat the shit out of them, I'll make it worth your while!"

Some of the swollen men chuckled and began cracking their knuckles as they approached the two brothers.

"I-Its that guy from earlier!" Oingo said, holding onto his little brother.

Tears were already running down Boingo's cheeks. "Big bro! I'm so scared!"

At the hospital, Noriko and Jotaro were holding hands and were about to enter inside the building.

"Huh?"

"Well, if it isn't Jotaro!" Joseph called out the teen.

"Hey, Noriko is here too!" Polnareff added.

Both teens turned their attention to them.

"You took long enough." Jotaro said.

"Long enough?" Polnareff asked. "You sure know how to take quick dumps!"

"You beat us here without a car." Joseph said. "And you got your uniform back from the cleaners too?"

"And you two made up that quickly?" Polnareff queried.

The two teens were confused.

"What the fuck are you two talking about?" Jotaro asked, annoyed by the stupid questions.

An ambulance showed up, driving past the Crusaders.

"Oh, an ambulance." Joseph pointed out.

"It must be pretty bad…" Noriko remarked.

"That's unfortunate…" Polnareff added.

Jotaro noticed Polnareff a bag of oranges "Oranges, huh? I was feeling thirsty." He grabbed one of the oranges.

"Me too, we did take a long walk." Noriko said and grabbed one as well.

The ambulance had parked in front of the group and opened the back doors, revealing two injured people. It was the Oingo Boingo brothers

"Oh?"

"That man's clothes…" Polnareff points out, he could've sworn he recognized those clothes.

"Do you know him?" Jotaro asked, his orange already peeled.

"Nah, never seen him." Polnareff brushed it off and walked away.

"Let's go see how Avdol is doing." Joseph said, following behind the Frenchman.

"I wonder what Polnareff and Mr. Joestar were on about…" Noriko wondered.

"It's probably nothing." Jotaro said.

"Yeah, you're most likely right," The red-haired teen then hooks her arm around Jotaro's arm. "Let's go check on Avdol." She said with a smile.

Jotaro simply nodded with a smirk and both went inside the hospital building.

The Oingo Boingo Brothers were taken out of battle. The fight was over before Jotaro and the others could even realize it had begun. But Boingo was still determined to go after the Crusaders, it'll have to wait until he and his brother recover from the beatings they just received.

Ba-dum-tsh!
