Support from Shrine Maiden, Tomo Asama!
Everyone from the Joestar group on one side to other side where Polnareff is standing, are all staring at the unknown young woman who just appeared out of nowhere shooting an arrow right between Avdol and Polnareff's Stand to stop the fight as it was just about to start.
"Both of you, stand down from this fight or else I will have stop your both with my arrows!" Tomo threatened.
"She launched her arrow right in the middle where my Silver Chariot and Avdol's Magician Red were gonna clash, that means she must be a Stand User if she is able to see them." Polnareff whispered to himself.
"Holy Shrine Maiden? Ah, Tomo Asama, is that you?" Avdol called out to the girl, getting her attention.
"Huh, that's me… oh, wait, Mister Avdol! I wasn't expecting to actually meet you in person!" Tomo surprised to meet her pen pal.
"Hold on, are you saying this sexy-looking girl is the pen pal you mentioned back at the restaurant?" Tori asked.
"Yes, we sent pictures of each other to know what we look like in case we ever run into each other though I was hoping under better circumstance." Avdol explained and looking back at Polnareff.
"Well, isn't that interesting, a friend has come to see your death by my hand." Polnareff chuckled evilly.
"And I told you before that I would not allow this place to become a battlefield for you, villain!" Tomo declared as she holds the giant pink metal bow at Polnareff and an arrow suddenly appeared.
"Oh, I guess she doesn't have to worry about running out of ammo." Kimi commented.
"Hey, Hello, Miss Holy Shrine Maiden! Hi, name's Tori Aoi and I was wondering if you could possibly let this battle go on, pretty please!" Tori begged goofy.
"What, are you serious?" Tomo asked.
"I'm afraid he is, as you can tell this battle for our very lives and this man was sent by someone who wants to kill us. I'm afraid this battle has already before you intervened." Avdol pointed out.
Tomo took a good look at Polnareff and back at Avdol seeing both of them having their Stand out and ready for battle that cannot be stop.
"Alright, you may have your battle here, but you win this alive, Avdol!" Tomo demanded.
"Don't worry, I intend on winning and showing this man how arrogant his swordsmanship is." Avdol smirked.
"Oh, I guess I'll really enjoy putting BOTH of you in your places!" Polnareff said as Silver Chariot point its sword at Tomo.
"Both? You mean me?" Tomo asked shock.
"Hold it, I though you wanted a one on one fight with Avdol, now you're involving someone else who has nothing to do with this?" Joseph asked angry that an enemy is bringing in an outsider into the fight.
"I'm afraid that's not the case now, the moment she shot that arrow in our fight she became involve and she's also a dear friend of Avdol. Meaning if she wants to make out of here alive, then she'll have to beat me first." Polnareff stated.
"Damn it, the bastard has a point." Jotaro snarled.
"Perhaps with Tomo's help, Avdol chances of surviving this fight have gone up to 49%." Horizon said emotionless.
"49%, wait what was the last percent before Tomo?" Joseph asked.
"I don't think now is the time to worry about that, Mister Joestar." Kakyoin pointed out that a fight is about to happen.
"He's right, we got a hot young maiden here and I'm already liking what I'm seeing." Tori growled like a tiger staring at Tomo's butt.
"Hey! Keep your pervert eyes off me!" Tomo snapped with her cheeks blushing.
"Tomo, I should warn you that Polnareff's Stand Silver Chariot fights with a rapier as you can see, and its thrusting speed are fast enough to redirect my flames. Be very caution." Avdol warned.
"Don't worry, he may have good swordsmanship, but let see how take out the arrows of my Bow Stand, Umetsubaki!" Tomo said, revealing the name of her Stand which is the metal pink bow.

"Alright then, let's get this started!" Ponareff declared as Silver Chariot launch forward as Magician Red comes out two.
Once the two humanoid Stand were close to each other, Silver starts swinging its sword at Magician Red dodging that strikes for a while.
"ComeOnComeOnComeOn" Silver Chariot continued swinging his sword at Magician Red trying to land a good blow, though the firebird Stand keeps avoiding. Tomo is standing by waiting for an opening to shot.
"Nothing at all? No sign of the flame you were bragging before. Suit yourself, I shall thrust the attack!" Polnareff said.
"ComeOnComeOnComeOn" Silver Chariot unleashed a barrage of his sword thrust at Magician Red.
That's when Magician Red release a large stream of fire from its mouth for a moment and launch three fireballs at the armored Stand though it swings the rapier to deflect the fireballs hitting a wooden statue of an eagle instead.
"That goddamn bastard, he's just toying with us! He's used Magician Red's own fireball to make a statue of it." Joseph pointed out.
"You got to admit; the man did capture it's figure right." Kimi admired the artwork.
"Look at that." Polnareff chuckled.
"In an odd place like this, I say your birdy Stand is right at home." Polnareff mocked.
"Then I hope you don't mind a few surprises from Miss Tomo." Avdol smirked.
Polnareff became confused of what Avdol is saying and look at Tomo who is smiling, then suddenly an arrow became down on Silver Chariot's back like a lighting strike forcing it to bend down as Polnareff mirrors the pain as he gasps.
"What the… where did that arrow come from? I didn't even see her firing any…?" Polnareff groaned, that's when he realized something.
(Flashback)
"I already fired by three of my arrows at the moment Magician Red showed off its flame, you being too focus on Avdol's flame was the perfect." Tomo explained.
At the moment Magician Red released the huge stream of flame, Tomo quickly act as she behind a little behind of Avdol and aims her bow at the sky firing three arrows toward the sky.
(Flashback End)]
"You better get ready because two more are coming!" Tomo pointed at the two last arrows coming toward Silver Chariot. From different sides.
"Oh yeah, I can also control the arrows after I fired them as they are part of my Stand." Tomo added
"Fool, Silver Chariot will slice them to pieces!" Polnareff shouted and true to his word, Silver Chariot managed to slice the arrows into little pieces even though they could avoid some of the rapier.
Three small cuts appear on Tomo's arm though she isn't faze by this much.
"Are you okay?" Avdol asked.
"I'm fine, it just these cuts are what happened when my arrows are destroyed but nothing serious." Tomo explained.
"Then it's time to get serious." Avdol declared and focus while Magician Red breaths in deeply.
"Well, here it comes, show me your true power at last, Avdol, but know this it will not be enough." Polnareff muttered to himself.
"Hey, I would hide already! Avdol is gonna blow his top!" Joseph warned as he quickly went to find someplace to hide behind.
"What are you talking about?" Jotaro confused.
"I think we're about to find out." Tori said.
"Crossfire Hurricane" Magician's Red fired a ankhs-shaped flame at Silver Chariot.
"Is that really the best you got? I told you before what my sword does; it creates a gap between the pockets of air so I can slice you flame!" Polnareff bragged as Silver Chariot deflect it at Magician's Red thus burning Avdol too.
"Avdol?!" Tomo gasped.
"Is just as I foretold, you will die by your own flame!" Polnareff said.
"I don't think so!" Tomo fired another arrow at Polnareff.
"Oh please, you need to shoot faster if you ever hope to beat me!" Polnareff bragged as Silver Chariot slice the apart.
"Just as planned." Tomo said.
Suddenly, a big burst of flame came out of the pieces of arrow latching itself on Silver Chariot's arm making it literally feel the burn that includes its User's arm then more flames pop up consuming Silver Chariot in flame.
"What? Impossible, could it be that her Stand can also create fire too?" Polnareff asked freaking out a bit.
"Not really, Umetsubaki can't make fire, but it can do other tricks like hiding Avdol's flame inside." Tomo explained as Avdol himself gets up none injured at all.
"What, but how are you fine right now?" Polnareff shocked.
"The flames blinded your eyes, what you really destroyed was the state Silver Chariot craved earlier." Avdol pointed at the burning statue.
"My original plan was to use the flame you deflected to melt the joints, but Miss Tomo offered a better solution which worked out well." Avdol explained.
"And that's not all." Tomo pointed at the flaming statue to look closely, seeing another arrow attach to it.
"I attach that arrow with a string that was connected to the arrow I launched at you which helped Avdol move his flame to you, maybe you should pay more attention then being so prideful." Tomo shrugged.
"The one who will be defeated by his own Stand power is you, Polnareff!" Avdol declared as Magician's Red fire another Crossfire Hurricane burning Polnareff as he is sent back flying a few feet.
(Music End)
"Wow, that was awesome! That combo you did, I think you should call it "Cross Arrow Line Fire" or something like that." Tori complimented on the battle.
While the others are thinking about leaving as they believe Polnareff is dead from the heat or probably in a coma, Tomo still had this bad feeling that this battle isn't over. And she is right.
Suddenly, Silver Chariot exploded into a big burst of smoke and they see Polnareff floating in the air upside-down, what's more shocking is that he isn't injured at all.
"Bravo, bravo, what great power you two did!" Polnareff clapped for Avdol and Tomo.
"No way, how is he still conscious?" Kakyoin asked shock.
"And how the hell is he floating like that?" Jotaro asked.
"Uh, Jojo sweetie, he's using his Stand." Kimi pointed out as the other see Polnareff's Stand, but it looks different than before.
"Wee, madam, it may have shed its armor but it's still my Silver Chariot!" Polnareff revealed.
"But how, I didn't think Stand can change its form at will?" Tomo asked.
"Don't worry, I'm happy to give you all the full explanation before I destroyed you all." Polnareff said.
"Fine, let's hear this explanation." Avdol huffed and walk back to the battlefield with Tomo.
"First: the explosion you saw was not my Stand's own self-destructing, what you took was Silver Chariot's armor, armor that was cast off. But before it did, it absorb the front of your flame." Polnareff explained.
"So, that's how you escaped further harm." Tomo said understanding this.
"Yes, and with the armor off it has marvelously more agility. Were you able to see my Stand as it lifts me up, that's right, Silver Chariot can now move faster than it has before!" Polnareff said.
"I see, so you're saying that it couldn't dodge my attack because of the heavy armor and its speed has increase, but that also means your Stand's defense are weaker for our attack to do more damage!" Tomo stated as she ready to fire three arrows.
"Perhaps but let me show something that will really terrify you!" Polnareff said.
Right before everyone's eyes, Silver Chariot suddenly multiple into eight Stand which shouldn't be possible since a User can only have one Stand.
"Okay, I think things just got worse for Avdol and Tomo." Tori scared a little.
"Now that's something you don't see every day." Kimi said.
"Tell me, are you freaked out yet?" Polnareff asked sarcastically.
"These are afterimages, perfect mirror of the Silver Chariot grantee your senses." Polnareff explained.
"Senses, as in not just our sight?" Tomo asked fearing this.
"That's right, all your senses can't follow their movement! How do you like my swordsmanship now!" The Eight Silver Chariot charged at Avdol and Tomo as they ready themselves for round two.
Tomo fire four arrows as they fly around hitting most of the afterimages, but none of them couldn hit the real one as they are sliced away as more cuts appear on Tomo's arm.
"Red Bind" Magician's Red unleashed a pair of rope made of fire swinging them at the Silver Chariots but only hitting the afterimages.
"I told you trying to find my Stand is useless." Polnareff said.
Tomo and Avdol continue striking hoping the two working together could at least get a hit on the real Silver Chariot only its moving too fast for either of them to get a hit as they only strike the afterimages.
"Desperation is not a good look on either of you." Polnareff mocked.
Silver Chariot got close to Avdol making cut shape of the ankhs on his face and shoulders then pushing him back.
"Avdol!" Tomo worried.
"With precision and lethal attacks, it's plane to see your Stand ability has been trained to great length." Avdol noticed.
"I have spent the last decade honing my skills, you have better hit with everything you got for I intend my next attack to be the coup de grace." Polnaredd warned.
"Uh, you certainly have more chivalry giving us fair warning." Tomo commented.
"Yes, I admired that, and I will give you my warning: my Crossfire Hurricane comes in different ways than the ones you saw. It's a flame that can that I can divide into many pieces as I deem fit." Avdol explained as Magician's Red's flame burst around him.
"Then I hope your Stand can defend against this attack!" Tomo fired an arrow straight up.
"Holy Rain" The arrow pointed down at Ponareff and burst into multiple arrows and shine into yellow light too.
"Crossfire Hurricane Special" Magician's Red fired four Crossfire Hurricane at Polnareff.
"You don't think I can defend against two attacks? Naïve, naïve, naïve, so very naïve!" Polnareff brought out the eight Silver Chariots into a defensive formation as he intends to slice all the arrows above and send the flames back at Avdol.
Then suddenly, fire burst out of the ground right beneath Polnareff surprising the French man and burning him up while some of the arrows from the sky pierce through his shoulder, arms, and legs, even on the side as he is both burned the flames and impale by arrows.
Joesph notice a burning hole Avdol is kneeling toward.
"That… that's the hole that was dug by the flame earlier, now I get it! It's clear to me, the first shot was setup and nothing more, there he uses to hide it with Crossfire Hurricane." Joseph figured out Avdol's plan and also knew that Tomo must've know about it.
"Man, never fought in a battle this intense." Tomo panted as she sees Polnareff struggling to get up with the fire burning him then Avdol threw a knife near him.
"Burning alive is painful way for one's end, take the knife and end it while you can." Avdol advised, making Tomo gasps.
"But Avdol…?" Tomo looked back at defeated foe.
Polnareff took the knife intending on throwing it at Avdol's back, but he chose not to do it and decided to let the flames take his life instead.
"I admit my own undoing; I couldn't picture his fire nor that girl's arrow standing a chance against my sword work. A slow death by the flames and arrows is what I deserve, I challenged you both and you were the clear victor. I would not soil it in suicide, it would be cowardly… to end it myself." Polnaref admitted his defeated and became unconscious as he closes his eyes.
Avdol then snapped his finger turning off the flame and Tomo made the light arrows disappeared.
"Even in your finally moment, you conduct yourself with chivalry. How easy it would have been for you to throw that knife at my unsuspected back. Even working for a devil like DIO, you still carry honor in you." Avdol admired that much about Polnareff.
"Something tells me there's a lot going on than just this fight you mentioned earlier." Tomo said kneeling next to Avdol.
"Indeed." Avdol nodded.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
This battle was intense as it was different than the anime as Tomo Asama has joined in, unintentionally, and she along with Avdol managed to beat the silver-haired Stand User though there's more to him as they'll soon find out more and group may get two more help on the journey to Egypt.
