Located along the Nile in Southern Egypt is the city of Luxor. To the ancient Egyptians, it was the site of Thebes. And it is here, on the west bank of the Nile, where the pharaohs were once laid to rest. Today we call this sacred site the Valley of the Kings.
"The tomb of the great Tutankhamun lies here, in the Valley of the Kings." said Avdol pointing out at the pyramids.
"Wow, this place is full of history." said Polnareff.
"Apparently, some residents of this area still dig beneath their houses in search of treasure without permission from the government." said Avdol
"Do you think there are any undiscovered tombs or treasure left?" said Polnareff.
"Perhaps. Mr. Joestar, are you all right?" Said Avdol. As Joseph stumbled from a rock.
"It's time to leave," said Joseph, wincing behind him was an electrical outlet that disappeared from the giant rock. The Card of the Goddess Bast Stand User: Mariah. Mariah looked down from behind the rock and smiled. "You know what they say. Curiosity killed the cat."
Bardock and Fasha looked down at Mariah from a cliff. "Should we do something?" said Fasha. "Not right now, I like a good challenge, it has been pretty boring," said Bardock.
They stopped by a cafe where they ordered cokes. As they waited the owner was trying to get a clear signal on the radio by turning the knob. "That's odd It's made in Japan, and I just bought it"
As Bardock and Fasha kept a watchful eye on Mariah, the tension in the air grew palpable. They knew that trouble was brewing, and their instincts told them to remain vigilant.
Meanwhile, the café owner continued to fiddle with the radio, frustration evident on his face as he struggled to get a clear signal. The static crackled, intermittently punctuated by bursts of distorted music and voices.
At that moment, Mariah glanced in their direction, a sly smile playing on her lips. Sensing her gaze, Bardock and Fasha exchanged a knowing look. It was clear that Mariah was up to something, and they couldn't afford to let their guard down.
Just as the café owner managed to tune the radio to a clear channel, a sudden surge of magnetic energy swept through the area, causing chaos. Tables and chairs were pulled towards each other with incredible force, and metal objects flew through the air like projectiles.
Bardock and Fasha sprang into action, leaping from their vantage point to confront Mariah. With a fierce determination, they charged towards her, ready to put an end to her mischief once and for all.
But Mariah was not one to be underestimated. With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed Bast's power, sending a wave of magnetic energy towards Bardock and Fasha. They braced themselves, their resolve unwavering as they prepared for the battle ahead.
As the clash between Stand users unfolded amidst the chaos of Luxor, the fate of the ancient city hung in the balance. With the forces of good and evil locked in a fierce struggle, only time would tell who would emerge victorious in this epic confrontation.
As the magnetic force pulled everything around them towards Joseph, he found himself at the center of the chaos. Tables and chairs hurtled towards him, propelled by the power of Mariah's Stand, Bast. Meanwhile, bottle caps from nearby bottles adhered to Joseph's body, adding to the onslaught.
Avdol and Polnareff moved swiftly to shield Joseph, using their own Stands to deflect the incoming objects. Avdol summoned Magician's Red, creating fiery barriers to intercept the projectiles, while Polnareff's Silver Chariot moved with lightning speed, slicing through the air to deflect any objects that got too close.
Despite their efforts, the sheer force of Mariah's attack threatened to overwhelm them. Joseph gritted his teeth, his mind racing as he searched for a way to counteract Bast's magnetic pull.
Suddenly, a plan formed in Joseph's mind. With a quick gesture, he activated his own Stand, Hermit Purple. Vines of purple energy emerged from Joseph's body, snaking their way towards the source of the magnetic field.
With a surge of power, Hermit Purple wrapped around Mariah's Stand, disrupting its magnetic field and weakening its grip on the surrounding objects. The tables and chairs began to slow their advance, and the bottle caps lost their hold on Joseph, falling to the ground with a metallic clatter.
Seizing the opportunity, Avdol and Polnareff launched a coordinated attack on Mariah, their Stands converging on her with precision. Mariah fought back with all her might, but against the combined strength of the Stardust Crusaders, her resistance faltered.
With a final, decisive blow, Mariah was defeated, her Stand Bast crumbling away into nothingness. The magnetic chaos subsided, and peace returned to the streets of Luxor.
As the dust settled, Joseph and the others exchanged a weary but victorious glance. Another battle won, another victory for the Stardust Crusaders. But they knew that their journey was far from over, and greater challenges awaited them on the road ahead.
