Hairs flew open as the wind blew fast. The sun was shining bright in the open blue sky.

Droplets of splashing water flew behind as the speed boat moved through the open red sea.

Usually, this type of experience is considered fun and refreshing. However, that was not the case for the crusaders.

Right this morning when they were loading their boat to cross the red sea, the elderly had come with tragic news after having contact with SWF.

It was about Avdol. He didn't make it alive.

This shocked the group as Jolyne was in disbelief. She could have sworn the knife attack was not that fatal. And she had succeeded to save him from getting hit by the bullets.

The white had a serious breakdown as the students also were feeling bad.

They were now taking a slight detour to an island where Joseph had to meet someone important.

The green felt like she had heard the same dialogue before in her father's memories but here was the strange part...

She could not remember anything.

This was making her more anxious and tensed as she sat silently in a corner, away from the bunch.

Why can't she remember anything that was supposed to happen today? Did her actions cause the timeline to change into a whole new one?

What happened to the baby? How did they all forget this big chunk of an event in just one-night span? What caused it and how is this even possible?

She slowly glanced at Kakyoin who was consoling the heartbroken Polanerff.

His clothes were folded up revealing both of his arms. There was no sign of any cuts or injuries. Completely clean...

This made green feel even more apprehensive about the upcoming situations.

Will this happen again? And what might cause it?

She had zero clue as she silently stared at the crusaders.

The boat cut through the waves and moved up and down causing her to lose balance and fall to the side. However, she got caught by a strong arm as she looked beside and saw raven looking at her.

He seemed less stoic than usual as he was calm and laid-back.

For a brief moment, they just looked eye to eye without a word.

Given how dull and heavy-hearted the green was, she just slowly looked away as she had many things clouding in her mind but couldn't share.

Seeing her distressed the raven made a slight frown as he looked down thinking of something.

He then slowly reached into his pocket and took out the cigarette box. He took two out. Putting one in his lips and motioning the other to green.

At first, the green simply looked at her father with all displease but soon she gave in as she felt a little lightened. It was refreshing to see her father attempting to help her.

She took the cigar and lit it up as they both began to smoke.

Seeing them from afar the white also asked for one and joined them as Kakyoin and Joseph remained silent.

They let those folks calm themselves for the time being until they reach their destination.

Soon their boat brushed the sand as waves were crashing against the island shores.

One by one they all got off the boat as white began to question the elderly of this new person he(Jp) was going to meet.

Before the old man could answer the raven pointed at the greenery near the shores.

" Hey, someone is watching us from the grass over there."(Jk)

" What ?"(P)

The group turned to look in that direction when a man suddenly jumped out of the bushes and started running away from them.

" He's running away!"(P)

The white exclaimed as the rest stared at the scene. Cherry who looked closely widened his eyes in disbelief.

"From the back, he looks...."(K)

"That... Can't be..."(JL)

Even green was speechless as Polnereff ran after the man.

" Yeah. That's definitely familiar!"(P)

Seeing him go the other followed after him.

Through the greenery, the mysterious man swiftly made his way to what looked to be his hut and began to feed his chickens.

Then bunch stopped a few steps before the gate as they watched the man in shock.

" That man..!"(K)

"It can't be."(P)

That person looked exactly like Avdol. From facial features to hairstyle all in general.

Polanerff attempted to approach the man but got stopped immediately by the elderly.

"You all wait here let me speak with him."(JP)

Joseph walked forward taking off his hat with a serious expression.

" My name is Joseph Joester. I'm traveling to Egypt with these three-"(JP)

"Go away! I won't hear it !!"(??)

The man shouted cutting through the middle of joseph's introduction. The Mysterious man turned his face to the bunch as it seems he indeed looked like Avdol but very identical.

"Don't talk to me! No one comes to see me with good news! It's only when something bad happens! I won't hear it !! "(??)

They were all stunned. Even raven looked astonished as the man began to walk away in anger.

"Avdol-san!"(K)

"Abdul..."(Jk)

The cherry called him but he showed his hand to silence them and then proceeded to get inside the house slamming the door behind him.

"It-It can't be !!"(K, P)

"What the heck .... How.. ?When ..?"(JL)

Green who was even more confused just looked back and forth at this exchange with zero ideas.

How come she cannot remember anything regarding this particular scenario?

Within all this confusion among the group, the old man broke the silence.

"That's Avdol's father.."(JP)

They instantly turned to Joseph

"His father!?"(P)

The white who was already having a flashback of the events back in India looked more troubled in heart.

"He left the world behind and now lives alone on this island. I didn't tell any of you about this because if Dio were to find out that we stopped here, the peace Avdol's father enjoys here could be compromised. I didn't want to let that happen. But... (JP)

The elderly paused walking a little closer to the fence gate where Kakyoin and Polnerff were standing.

"Telling him that Avdol's death
is not going to be easy..."(Jp)

Hearing this the white looked even more troubled as it was originally his fault from the start. Guilt was spreading in his heart as the elderly put a hand on his(p) shoulder.

"Abdul's death was not your fault."(JP)

To this, the white shook his head in a negative gesture and began to walk away from the group.

"No, it's my responsibility. I have to carry that ."(P)

" Pol wait."(JL)

The green looked at him but it seems the white was too burdened to listen. Seeing him like this green attempted to follow but was stopped by the elderly.

"Let him be. He'll be back soon."(Jp)

The cherry who was still staring at the hut with a serious face turn to them.

" Is his father a Stand user as well?"(K)

"Yes, but I don't know what type of Stand it is."(Jp)

"Given how his father has treated us, it's hard to imagine he'll help us...... "(K)

To that, the green nodded looking down as this was truly not the best time for the poor man to be willing to help the group.

A gap of silence later the old man glanced at the cherry and spoke in a toned-down voice.

" Is he out of range?"(Jp)

The boy reverted his eyes slightly behind joseph seeing the empty path taken by the white earlier.

" Yes, Mr.Joester."(K)

Getting confirmation, the seriousness on joseph's face disappeared instantly. As he eased up and let out a laid-back sigh.

"Ha, my words were promising right?"(Jp)

" Very promising indeed, sir."(K)

"huh?"(JL)

The green was struck with confusion seeing a sudden turn in everyone's mood.

The raven who was behind the green sighed putting his hands in his pocket.

"Yare yare let's get in his house already I'm starving."(Jk)

The green turned to look at Jotaro now even more puzzled.

"Of course, he's got a full-course meal ready for us from the moment he got the call this morning!"(Jp)

"what????"(JL)

Green puzzled just looked back and forth towards all of them as she was empty-minded about the situation.

Seeing her all lost the cherry approached her.

"Are you not aware of the secret plan?"(K)

" Secret....plan? Of what?"(JL)

The green was not sure of what he was implying and scanned all corners of her brain to connect the tiniest bit of memory that could align with this but failed.

The raven from beside rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"How is she supposed to know about all of this when she was sleeping like a walrus with Polnerff in the back seats during Oldman's crazy plan."(Jk)

The green more distressed by the info, shot a look at him.

" wtf is a walrus??"(JL)

The raven made a very unexpected face as he looked at her from high ground.

"Are you like 5? You don't know what a walrus is? I thought everyone with an IQ above 10 would know what that creature is."(Jk)

The wise old man who was not okay with the discrimination responded to raven with a straight face.

" Jotaro, not everybody is passionate about African animals."(JP)

"It's a sea creature..."(Jk)

The raven just stared at Joseph all disappointed but not surprised.

"Oopsies xd ✨✨"(Jp)

"🗿.................."(Jk)

The raven all done with the uncultured people around him decided to remain silent.

Within all that the cherry glanced at his wristwatch and made a slightly alarmed expression.

"Ummm Mr.Joester we are going to be late if we delay the lunch any further."(K)

Hearing this the elderly immediately took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

"Oh yes you are right! Let's get going! We have a long journey ahead after this."(Jp)

With that, he walked straight towards the hut, opened the door, and walk in with no hesitation.

Seeing this the green looked at the student pair all confused as they also began to do the same.

"eh???"(JL)

With no idea, she just walked after them into the but.

The but from inside was very beautiful and aesthetic. There was a common feeling of middle eastern culture from curtains, carpets, furniture, and domestic items.

Soon she saw the boys take off their shows as Joseph from the kitchen was nagging.

"whaaaaa ???! I gotta off my shoe !? Who takes shoes off unless I'm about to sleep !!"(JP)

"Stop being such a whining old fart and take off those damn shoes. You must always take them off when you're inside the damn house."(Jk)

"Yes sir that is basic manners."(K)

The two students were scolding the elderly over manners when a fourth voice responded.

" It's fine. I'll swipe the house later so feel free to stay in shoes if you please. "(A)

Hearing the voice the girl immediately walked into the kitchen while taking off her shoes.

That's when she saw a familiar face who also noticed her and smiled.

"Avdol !?"(JL)

She exclaimed seeing him in his usual attire.

"Oh hello, Miss Irene. It has been a long time-"(A)

Before he could speak any further he was met with a warm embrace. The girl instantly ran and hugged the Egyptian all happy and relieved.

"Oh my goodness, you're alive!!"(JL)

The joy in her voice made the black feel more welcomed as he could not hold back his big smile.

"Oh my- I'm flattered to know that you've missed me as it seems."(A)

"Well heck yeah, I did! Can't have two idiots with one big brain!"(JL)

She stated with no pity as the old man snapped his finger hyping up.

" That's right. Without my excellent guide, you all wouldn't have come this far!"(Jp)

"I meant Kakyoin as smart, you dumb old man."(JL)

"Whhaaaaaaaat D: "(Jp)

The old man got shut down again as he kept on attempting to win green's admiration while Kakyoin was already taking the dishes to the floor mat where the plates were placed.

The raven on the other hand was also welcoming the old comrade.

The green then joined kakyoin and placed the lunch on the mat as Joseph in the end took his shoes off.

The Egyptian had prepared many appetizing-looking dishes. Along with many side dishes and sweets.

The guest's mouths watered as they began to pick up their plates as cherry and green took the role of serving.

In the middle, the green looked back at the window with a slightly concerned face

"Shouldn't we call Polnerff? I mean, I get you guys wanted to mess with him but still."(JL)

The magician nodded standing up as he began to walk to the entrance door.

" I'll bring him. You all please start."(A)

The old man who was still in the kitchen washing his hands came back and sat down all ready to eat.

" Oh boy, he's gonna have a great surprise. "(Jp)

"Indeed. Please enjoy the meal."(A)

With that, he finished tying his shoes as he opened the door.

"We will !!!"(Jp, JL)

He(A) returned a warm smile and closed the door behind him.

The group then focussed on the food. The cherry clapped his hands and bowed his head.

" Itadakimasu."(K)

" Oh Nah boy! We're in the middle east. We should probably say Allahu akbar!"(Jp)

The old man boastfully laughed as the three stared at him in silence. Seeing them not so joyed the elderly became confused a little.

The raven picked up the date fruit and lifted his eyebrows.

"You mean, Bismillah?"(Jk)

The cherry looked at the raven slightly nodding in affirmative.

"Yeah that's what came in my head....."(K)

"Yeah."(JL)

The old man a bit confused looked back and forth.

"What! How do you know of this??"(Jp)

"Picked up from the locals."(Jk)

He put the date in his mouth peacefully eating.

" Right. Bismillah."(K)

"Bismillah to all! XD"(JL)

The green cheerfully took one of the sliced fruits.

They began to stuff themselves down wholeheartedly as they haven't had a such homely-cooked meal in a while.

Soon they were full but there was still plenty of food left. The old man gulped down a whole glass of lemonade as he let out a big burp.

The cherry who was collecting the used plates glanced at the wall clock. It was already late afternoon. Very close to sunset. Green who was also aware of the time turned to the boys.

"Aren't they taking a bit too long out there?"(JL)

"Yeah... It's been a whole hour and a half and they still out there."(K)

The raven sighed poking his teeth with a toothpick as he got up.

" Yare yare and here I thought you all were serious about reaching Egypt by night."(Jk)

"Well it's not my fault that they are having their long-awaited quality time!"(JP)

The old man made an annoyed face as the raven plopped down on one of the floor bedding and pulled a cushion under his head.

"Whatever, I gonna take a nap. Wake me up when you'll are finished with your time waste."(Jk)

Seeing him laying with no sense of duty the green looked at him with a surprised face.

"What!? You're not going to help us take these to the sink!?"(JL)

"Why me? When you are eager to be a dishwasher-"(Jk)

The plates clacked hard as green paused instantly. She slowly glanced at the raven with frightening wide eyes.

A few minutes later the raven was all focused on washing the dishes with a huge red mark on his cheek. Green was right beside him dealing with the leftovers.

The cherry who was swiping the floor looked at the then-darkened sky as it was evening already.

" So should we go out there and look for them or should we load the boat with the supplies?"(K)

The elderly who was busy marking his map looked up and then glanced outside through the nearest window.

"I think it's best to let them be. We should probably finish our part of the drill first."(Jp)

The cherry nodded swiping the dirt to a corner. He put down the broom and brushed his hands turning to the delinquent pair.

"Right. Will you both be alright on your own?"(K)

The raven glanced a little bit green and blocked his vision standing between them with crossed arms all fired up.

"Oh, he'll be so fine doing the dishes. We'll join you both after he's done 🔥"(JL)

"Okay~"(Jp)

With the elderly and cherry heading out of the house to the storage side, Avdol had already kept the necessities for the next journey ahead.

Soon the Green and raven joined them giving a helping hand. The moon was shining bright up in the night sky by the time they finished loading. 

They had waited for some time when they saw Avdol and Polanerff approach them in a jolly mood.

After a little bit of messing around with polanerff they took the boat to the other side of the island where the elder surprised the bunch with a newly bought exclusive submarine specially bought for this trip.

They were then planning to cross the red sea to the west coast of Africa.

_______________________________________

not too long ago...

"Time"

"Is like a flowing river..."

"It flows in one direction..."

"Mountain to sea"

"A beginning to an end."

"Everything within"

"is bound to move with its flow"

"The rules of gravity and time are the same."

"Now there is an interesting question.."

"Can a fish reject its given path and jump out of the river?"

Spoke the devil by himself in the shadows holding a book beside the candlelight.

The room was dark with no sign of life. Large shelves filled with endless books with knowledge of forgotten ages.  All dust-covered furniture with webs and mist.

A faint sound of Adhan could be heard as well as bells from the nearest church.

Yet they did not reach the door of this chamber.

In this pitch-black chill-filled abyss, it felt like the domain of the King in Yellow.

A realm of the cursed.

The candlelight was the only source of light that shined in there as it reflected in those blood-red eyes beneath the locks of golden hair.

Those seemed so fleshed and alive yet there was coldness and death hidden in them.

Those bewitching cold eyes simply read the words in the book.

The book was about a man who was befriended by a Jinn. How this man was taken by the jinn to the unseen realm of jinns.

It was interesting to learn that in the religion of Islam there is a mention of another creation who lived within the world of mankind but mankind could not see them.

Yet they lived among humans since the beginning. They had families, societies, and civilizations.

Everything.

Could it be that Stands were just Jinns who possessed a certain human being?

Could it be that the unseen world was a different universe with alternate leaders of the earth?

They can shapeshift, Teleport and could do certain magic.

Can they be used as Stands?

The devil wondered. flipping to the next page.

Ever since he had risen from the water to this unknown land, he had walked the streets of Egypt when all of the earth was in deep slumber.

He had no clothes, no origin, and no home. Like Adam yet he was far from that. He was not welcomed by any creature that walked near.

He was alone in a hollow.

Only his name and an old rotten skull were all he had.

However, there was another thing. The unknown feeling of presence was tied to the birthmark on his back.

He did not like it.

He was approached by an old Oracle who had taken one glance at him and fallen on her knees.

She shared a vision she had foreseen over the years.

Rebirth of Bennu.

She took the man of the dead and sheltered him. She gave him power like nothing he had ever imagined.

It was his shot. A shot to cross the line and tinker with the rules of nature.

Rules of God.

He built his ground. Assembled a cult that blindly followed him. Surrounded himself with all the things a man desires in his life.

Wealth, Power, woman

Knowledge

Yet he wasn't satisfied. He wanted more. He wanted to sit above all else.

As the King.

However, he needed a path a ritual a way to achieve greater power by any means.

But most importantly he had to get rid of them.

Those four defendants. Who he could feel through the strange string of bonds.

He had to slaughter them first. With that sacrifice, he will achieve his greater goal.

He began to gain knowledge. To find ways to tie links with the unseen. With beings, he was forbidden to come in contact.

Until he came across a book that was feared by all. A book from the ancient dark empire of Babylon. A cursed land, known for its black magic.

Many warned him. It was said that whoever read the book will not reach heaven. They will burn in the darkest depths of hell.

But will he fear the blaze?

When he had rejected his humanity a century ago?

When he was hanging between the gates of life and death?

How can one reach heaven?

Virtue? Purity? Innocence?

Why must he bow down when there is so much that could be under him?

An ant may follow its duty and serve its queen in the harshest nature.

It may think it will get a reward for its hardship when winter befalls.

But in reality, it will be stomped and crushed under the foot of a human who is mightier in terms of power.

The queen will have her feast with no worries but that ant will be forgotten the moment it is crushed.

Why must he be an ant when he can be the one who crushes it?

Surely power is something that will keep him at the top of all.

Can he be accepted in heaven while being in that position?

Or will he just be thrown into hellfire the moment he dies?

What if he doesn't die?

Then what about heaven?

How can one reach heaven without dying and facing judgment?

What is heaven?

A beautiful land? Endless food? River of the sweetest honey?The final resting place?

But earth also has it all.

Then what differentiates paradise from earth?

Perhaps a state of mind?

Earth has everything close to heaven but there is one more element that has its grasp upon mankind.

The fear of the unknown.

It may seem light but it goes deeper into the core emotions of a living being.

On earth nothing is certain. No soul knows what is arriving at their doors.

They live in constant fear and thus it reflects on their actions and their judgment.

They are cogs, yet they do not act like one. They continuously attempt to do the opposite because they think they can take precautions for what is unknown.

What about Paradise?

Well, paradise is a place where fear is not present.

Since the state of that place will forever remain the same. Since a man knows there is no danger upon him in the future.  The fear will no longer exist.

This heaven becomes a place of security and peace.

Peace

Peace of heart

Peace of mind.

That is heaven.

And peace only exists when there is the assurance of security.

No fear of the unknown.

What if mankind achieved that peace within the earth?

Will they want to rebel against the unknown?

Certainly not.

They will become cogs and function with no denial.

That is what he wanted. 

Achieve Heaven

Now he needed a blind follower whose heart and soul was completely washed.

Someone who would not betray him. Someone who will be the ant that will collect his tools for the coming storm.

And once everything is collected he will stomp that ant and sit on the thrown.

Luckily he found that precious follower.

A man of God who had strong devotion.

The devil tricked him. And made him commit a sin that was never his fault.

Drowned him in misery and guilt.

When a man is in a hopeless situation, that is when cracks appear in his beliefs.

That is when evil enters his soul.

Enrico Pucci

The ant who shall serve the devil until its last breath.

But ...........

Something had been bothering the devil for some time.

This has been a strange phenomenon that he could figure out.

Sudden presences of more of them.

Another Joester.

At the beginning of his new arrival, there were a fixed number of them.

He could feel them move, feel their happiness, sorrow, pain, and joy.

Like a mother feeling her infant in the womb.

Connected by the cord.

He despised this feeling. As it reminded him of the existence of his old foe's descendants.

It has been like this for the past three years.

However, about a month ago something strange happened.

A sudden feeling tingled the birthmark.

There were suddenly more of them.

Two new stars had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and had begun venturing onto the earth.

What was sickening was that both of them along with the already existing two were heading closer to Cairo.

Who are those new descendants?

And why couldn't he sense their existence like the others?

More importantly

Why was one of them emitting a strong aura?

An aura that was similar to a certain someone from the past.

He closed the book and stood up. He slowly walked through the dark room beside his king-sized bedding.

There was a window right next to it which had very thick curtains blocking light enter the room.

He slowly moved a bit of it as thin rays of moonlight fell upon the red sheets of the bed lightening that portion of the chamber.

Just where the light fell laid the very skull he had when he walked out of the sea.

The devil stared at it for a few moments in silence.

Perhaps it had taken him back to his past. Perhaps it reminded him of his defeat.

He slowly crawled onto the bed, laying right beside the skull silently staring at it.

Now looking closer, it was glimmering.

Like a grain of light in the darkness.

That light was reflecting in those orbs like a pool of blood.

"Could it be that you have returned to fetch me?"(D)

The skull remained lifeless as the blonde motioned his hand, gently tracing the old scratches and little cracks with his finger.

"You have always been very stubborn and kind-hearted. I always find it very idiotic. "(D)

He became silent again. Sights lost in past.

For a moment, there was softness beneath the depths of those cold eyes.

A slight sign of loneliness could be seen as he intently watched the corpse part as if it was the person he was conversing with.

"Yet you never gave up on me...I find it very interesting."(D)

Again silence as slowly his expression became more mourning. As if he was very lonely and lost.

He slowly began to wrap himself with his arm. Hugging himself as his one hand slowly reached for the star-shaped birthmark on his back.

"No matter how many times I break you, tore you, cause you pain, torture you...

You never fall onto your knees and surrender.

You still hold me, dear to your heart."(D)

Kindness

Something he never received from anyone but the counter.

He took a long breath. Even though his lifeless body didn't need to. Tho his heart didn't need to, it was still beating.

Why was he so infatuated with that man?

Why of all him?

He slowly began to shake as he covered his blushed face and small giggles echoed throughout the chamber.

He knew exactly why.

As his hand moved to reveal a huge grin. It was sinister, cruel.

He knew why he adored that man.

He thrived in seeing that person in tears.

His blood would rush when he heard his(J) screams of pain.

It was far better than the moans of the most beautiful, woman on earth.

His heart would skip with joy when his(j) blood covered his hands.

Oh how beautiful and filling it would have been if he could just grab his neck and strangle why he(j) would beg.

Call his name and beg for mercy.

Accept his(j) defeat.

That would have been the ultimate happiness.

He always felt this way. He tortured and punished those who were kind to him.

To him, only those were worthy to have a place in his heart. In that case, those who have faced the wrath of this cruel world, the torment, the pain that he endured. 

The scars that he gained. He wanted them to have those too. Only then they'll be worthy and ready to have his admiration, his respect

His love.

And Jonathan had achieved that place.

He loved Jonathan.

It wasn't a worldly pitiful romantic one.

It was far from that.

Way more twisted.

His grin couldn't stop as he held the skull close to his face. Starting at it with a twisted passion.

He then planted a small kiss on its forehead and carefully put it on the bedside table.

He gave a warm yet sinister smile at it.

" Perhaps I should do what I couldn't do in the past with you to this new one that's arriving at my doors very soon."(D)

A knock on the door echoed interrupting the Blonde. He made a slightly displeased expression as he sat up.

He rested himself a bit against the bed and looked at the door.

"You may come in, Darby."(D)

The door opened with a ceack sound.
He stared at the door from afar with a cold expression as a man walked in and bowed.

" I apologize for my sudden intrusion.  I was given this message by Mr.Enrico via phone call."(Drb2)

He lifted an envelope with his head still kept low.

"Leave it on the table."(D)

The butler nodded, walked to the table, and placed the envelope below the book.

With that, he took some steps back closer to the door and bowed again.

"Then I shall excuse myself-"(Drb2)

"Hold it."(D)

The subordinate slightly looked up.

"Yes, my lord?"(Drb2)

"Before you go, wake that thing up."(D)

The blonde ordered with a cold expression.

"My Lord?"(Drb2)

Seeing the servant's confusion the blonde frowned.

" Did you not listen? I repeat, wake... That object."(D)

The butler slightly met his eyes as it seems he was very confused about what the devil was demanding.

The blonde with no hope sighed as he coldly pointed at one of the walls.

"That magic box which breaths cold air."(D)

The butler looked at the walls and suddenly it clicked in his mind.

"Oh. Do you mean the Air conditioner? Right away lord."(Drb2)

With that, he fetched the remote which was on the red chair, and turned the Ac on.

The devil who was watching all of this just simply muttered crossing his arms.

"Right.. Air....conditioner..."(D)

His eyes remained in a frown as he slowly reached for the Star shaped birthmark.

Slowly touching it all lost in thoughts.

_______________________________________

In the dark abyss. Beneath the depths of the red sea, the submarine moved its way toward its destination.

In the submarine closer to the window Jolyne stood lost in thoughts.

Gently touching her birthmark.

It seems she was feeling as if she was getting closer to another Joester. However, she could also sense a feeling of danger.

It was like a gut feeling or reaction of instinct that threat was near.

She was inside one of the luxury cabins within the submarine. It seems the old man had bought this transportation that was popularly known for rich people's entertainment.

Made her wonder just exactly how rich her great-grandfather was.

She turned around and walked over to her backpack for deodorant. She began to search her bag when something watched her from the wall behind her.

It was looking at the star-shaped birthmark on her back.

Meanwhile, in the control room, the bunch was chilling.

Avdol was at the staring, driving the transport. Polnerff was right beside him begging to let him drive.

Joseph was sitting by the table alongside Jotaro. And raven was simply resting for the time being.

Back in the room, Jolyne had finished her little fresh-up as she zipped her bag.

She slowly put on her jacket. She was all set as she approached the door reaching for the handle.

She turned the handle as it was then locked from the outside.

"What the.."(JL)

She put more force on the handle when a faint giggling of a woman caught her attention.

She instantly turned back all alert in a fighting stance.

"Who's there!"(JL)

The giggles began to get louder as green's eyes scanned all around the room for any sign of the enemy.

Soon the giggle stopped as the hidden enemy began.

"For a good amount of time, I was pissed at you... You good for nothing whore. The times you were leaning so close to my Jotaro made my stomach sick. What does that blind boy see in you to care so much."(??)

"what- who are you!!?

The green shouted still looking for the source of the sound. Suddenly a face appeared right behind her and she immediately jumped away from it.

It was a very creepy and unsettling-looking face. It seemed to be of a Stand as it continued.

"But now I'm no longer interested in him. I'm more curious to know who are you. And why wasn't I informed of another Joester boarding this ship."(??)

Green's eyes widened as it made the enemy Stand grin.

" Oh? So someone here is hiding their identity huh?"(??)

In rush, the green tried to go through her father's memories. She was not having it with the sudden disappearance of all memories.

Why can't she remember anything from the memories? Moreover now she was even more under pressure by the fear of.

What if that happens again?

She does not know what caused but she certainly does not want that to happen again. It was unexplainable and something that did not feel right.

All she could do was try to remember.

"You.. You're..."(JL)

Suddenly she could only remember a faint statement .'The high priest is the ...... Metal...glass..'

It sounded like Avdol.

This was all she could remember.

"High Priest-!!"(JL)

Suddenly the enemy Stand charged at her as Stone Free also appeared throwing a strong punch.

ORAAAAAAHHHH

The enemy swiftly dodge the blow as it landed on one of the pipes causing it to break and leak gas.

"aagh-!"(JL)

The evil Stand had managed to lash a huge cut on her arm as it had bounced back into the walls again with blood spurting out of her arm.

She tried to sprint toward the door but again got shot by screws from the other parts of the walls.

The enemy Stand began to laugh in victory seeing the green on the ground all bloody.

"Where do you think you're going? Do think I'll let you go just because you're related to my Jotaro?"(Hp)

The Villainess laughed harder when the green all of a sudden smirked catching her attention.

"Your Jotaro?"(JL)

[🦋Jolyne theme starts🦋]

She menacingly stood up as she looked at the enemy pointing at herself.

"Do you see any ugliness on me?"(JL)

The enemy caught off guard remained silent.

Getting no response the green smirked.

"Exactly. Cause he didn't pick an ugly bitch like you in the end."(JL)

This made the Stand go all red in fumes as it again dashed at her but green had something else prepared for her.

The moment Stand could land on her with spikes forming all around it, a string flashed its way from jolyne to the fire extinguisher.

The string swiftly took the whole cylinder to green's grip right on time as she hit the Stand using the thing like a baseball bat.

As result, the spikes got impaled into the cylinder causing leakage from it.

In the blink of an eye, the cylinder busted scattering foams all over the place.

Green however was completely safe thanks to Stone Free's string cover.

The Stand was all covered with foams and raised with little to no scratch at all. It looked at green all confidently and laughed.

"Ha ha ha! Do you think some foams would slow me down? Take this-!!??!"(Hp)

Before the Stand could do anything, it was feeling a strong feel burn. Not more moments later, the burn increased as vapor began to come out of its skin because of the intensity.

"cyaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!"(Hp)

Now part of the Stand was melting apart.

The Stand tried to morph into something else but wasn't working.

"what- what is this..?!?"(Hp)

"Carbonic acid you dumb bitch."(JL)

She pointed at the pipe that she punched earlier.

It was the oxygen pipe. The leaking Oxygen along with the hydrogen molecules in the air had bonded with the carbon dioxide foam on the enemy Stand's body. It had turned into Acid which instantly started to burn it down.

Seeing this the Stand became even more angered as it faced the green after seeing all of this.

"Why you...WRENCH!!!"(Hp)

The Stand began to dash from wall to wall making green impossible to keep up with and suddenly charged at her from a blind spot.

With carbonic acid still mixed with the liquid metal body, the Stand wrapped itself around green's neck. Trying to kill her with her poison.

The green was getting choked while also burned in the neck which was still recovering from the damage back in Pakistan.

She tried her best to scream and resist but fail. Blood was leaking out of her wounds she could tell, she was going to have a blackout very soon.

And if that happens she'll be killed instantly.

Soon she fell to her knees as the force around her neck tightened.

The enemy all in power laughed as soon she'll succumb and will be killed.

In all of this in her mind, she was trying to figure out any possible way.

She fell on the ground now only minutes away from dying of suffocation and pain.

Vision slowly got blurry as the laughter of the enemy became dimmer.

That is when tears formed in green's eyes.

Dad... Please... Save..me...

Path

She thought to herself now slowly closing her eyes as her body began to get numb and her hands which were trying to hold back the enemy started to lose energy.

chosen

Suddenly the enemy Stand stopped as it felt something odd. It looked around the room and saw nothing.

"What...Strange.. I thought I sensed someone walking."(Hp)

Meanwhile, in the control room, Kakyoin had made six cups of tea as Joseph and Jotaro were drinking.

Avdol was right beside Polanerff who driving the ship.

Suddenly out of the blue white made a mistake causing the ship to tilt making the cups of hot tea slip aside from the table and fall on raven.

"POLNERFF!!!"(A)

"Oopsies! "(P)

"Jotaro!!"(Jp, K)

The cherry and the elderly rushed to raven who was all covered with hot tea all over his legs.

Seeing this cherry scolded the white from the back.

"Can't you be a little more careful!?"(K)

He quickly took up his handkerchief while joseph checked if his grandson was ok or not.

"you didn't get burned right!?"(Jp)

The raven with little to no reaction to the pain just simply touched his soaked pants.

" Yare yare, this was my 20,000 yen pants..."(Jk)

He tsk and stood up. Placed his tea on the table and began to walk away putting his hands in his pocket.

Seeing him heading towards the door to the hallway, he figured raven was heading to his room to change.

All happy and in tears he smiles.

" Finally! I can see my grandson get out of that damn uniform!"(Jp)

The raven heard them from afar and simply left by saying.

" I have packed an extra just in case."(Jk)

"Ow COME ON:/// "(Jp)

He left the control room and began to make his way to his room where his luggage was.

As he walked through the empty hall he sniffed an odd chemical smell. He could also hear the sounds of leaking pipes.

Soon the sounds and gas smell became stronger as he stood in front of green's room which seemed like the source of it.

All alert he used Star Platinum to unlock the door from inside and turned the handle opening the door.

But in a flash, he was pulled by his leg causing him to fall right before something flew right over him land landed on the wall behind.

He instantly turned and saw a hideous-looking Stand all fuming in anger as it dashed from wall to wall toward the control room.

Seeing this he looked back into the room and saw green on the floor all blood coated. She seemed heavily injured on the neck which he assumed was from choking.

Her hand was motioned forward with a finger turned into a string which had its other end wrapped around his leg.

It seemed she had pulled him by the leg right in time before the enemy Stand could impale his face.

The raven approached her kneeling. He checked if she was ok but

She wasn't breathing.

This made the raven's breath stop. He made a heavy frown. He immediately made her lay on her back as he began to press her chest, giving her CPR.

His mind was all blank.

The warmth was there.  But not for long.

He continued to press while gently hitting her face trying to wake her up.

"Hey.. Don't fuck with me like this...wake up.."(Jk)

She wasn't responding.

He greeted his teeth. He pressed his ear close to her chest trying to get a single beat.

There wasn't. He again touched her hand now they were getting cold.

"No, you are not going anywhere..I won't let you die!"(Jk)

He summoned Star Platinum. Suddenly the ship began to shake as lights started to flicker.

They had been attacked he figured. 

But that wasn't his main concern. He made Star platinum's hand go through green's heart as it grabbed the heart and tried to make it pump again.

"Come on.... Wake up..."(Jk)

The breathing wasn't starting.

His eyes widened as for an unknown reason he was in shock and pain.

For the first time, he was panicking.

He stopped pressing the chest and opened her mouth.

He hesitated at first but then he began to blow from the mouth while Star Platinum was pumping the heart.

The sirens began to ring as he felt wet from behind.

He looked back and saw water spreading all over the place.

The ship was sinking. He could hear the other screaming his name.

But he did not care. He continued to give her CPR until he stopped when her heart was slowly starting to beat. 

Seeing a chance he used Star platinum's strength to blow her mouth one last time.

The moment a massive amount of air went into her lungs, her eyes shot open and saw her father's lip in her mouth.

Her exe stopped working. Her eyes twitched as a blow from Stone free send the young man flying.

She somehow turned over coughing trying to breathe properly.

The raven who moved back at the sudden blow covered his nose as he was checking if it was broken due to the punch.

"Yare yare, that was unnecessary."(Jk)

The green slowly turned at him with wide eyes. Still trying to stable her breathing.

She grabbed raven by the collar all angered and embarrassed.

" What the fuck do you think you were doing !!? "(JL)

The raven was already done just by her reaction. He looked at her with a disgusted face.

" What does it look like I'm doing? French kiss ? I was giving your damn lung a CPR ."(Jk)

" Then why couldn't you just stick to the lungs then!!!?"(JL)

She shook him by the collar. The one thing she feared the most just happened. Now she was on the verge of slapping raven across the face but couldn't because of family ties.

The raven annoyed by this also got angered as he grabbed her collar and shouted in her face.

" I was but your stupid lung wasn't working!! What am I supposed to do? Watch you die like a dehydrated diarrhea patient!?"(Jk)

The green all speechless just got out of his hold and look away.

"You know what.. Just let me die ok ? This... Does not happen again . Got that ?"(JL)

The raven fixed his hat sighing and slowly getting on his feet.

" Well shit, then don't die. I also don't wanna kiss an obnoxious bitch like you either."(Jk)

" As you should 💀💀💀"(JL)

She glared at the raven with all the anger and embarrassment as she also got up but due to lack of strength was falling but raven caught her by the arm.

Seeing him hold her she immediately brushed his hands off in anger as she fell to her knees again.

Seeing her drama the raven made an irritated expression and motioned his hand in front of her face.

"Yare yare, stop being an ungrateful piece of shit and hold onto me. You look like a used balloon close to losing  all it's air."(Jk)

" Shut up, Oldman!"(JL)

She cursed and took his hand nonetheless.

Once they got out of the room the floor already was filled with ankle level pool of water.

All the lights had turned red as an alarming sign as sirens began to get louder.

Once they had approached the control room door. They could hear the high-pitched laughter of the enemy Stand.

They opened the door and saw Polanerff and Avdol with their Stands into action with the enemy Stand which was moving at a high-speed rate, dashing from one place to another.

Joseph was unconscious and bleeding from his chopped-off missing hand and neck over kakyoin's shoulder.

The moment the group noticed the delinquent pair gave a relieved look.

"FINALLY YOU TWO ARE HERE !! WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG!?!"(P)

Noticing the two the enemy Stand changed its course and charged at Jotaro. In reflex, the purple Stand punched back but the Stand swiftly dodged and almost attacked him when it was yet again shot by incoming liquid carbon dioxide from a fire extinguisher.

The Stand screeched in anger and pain as it flew back hitting on the wall a little weakened.

"YOUUU!!!!! YOU WRENCH AGAIN!!!"(Hp)

" Yes, It is I, J- IRENE !!!"(JL)

The green confidently held the fire extinguisher with a huge evil grin while the Stand was again suffering from acid burn.

Seeing this sudden twist win on their side the white got hyped up looking at green.

"Wow! How did you do that!?"(P)

" Of course! Carbonic acid! It'll mix up and cause acid burns with the minerals of metal and plastic! Well done, Miss Irene!!"(A)

The cherry from aside holding up the elderly nodded.

" Right, we should do something while that thing is still slow."(K)

"Right."(Jk)

The raven then slowly approached the Stand which was in the middle of dealing with its burn.

That is when the telephone from the other side began to ring. Hearing it the trio who were here the whole time made irritated reactions.

" Oh DAMNIT ! Can't this person quit it already!!!! They've been calling this entire time!!"(P)

Before the group could do anything further the phone was picked up.

"No don't-"(A)

The phone was held close to the ear as a jolly voice spoke from the other side.

{{ Hi Joseph~ it It's me! I wasn't done talking to you so I made Rosas give me the number.}} (SQ)

Soon the voice stopped getting no response from the receiver.

{{Why aren't you speaking? Not to mention, what a rowdy hotel you are in. I hear something like a siren. And the sound of water. Is the bathtub overflowing?}}(SQ)

The elderly woman sounded worried as the receiver answered.

" Oldman can't answer right now... Grandma Suzy.."(JL)

Suddenly there was a gasp on the other side as the woman shockingly responded.

{{That voice- Holly!? Is that you on the phone.}}(SQ)

Green's eyes slightly softened. It seems green's voice somehow resembled Holly's. It was normal since she was in the end, her(H) granddaughter.

The elderly woman from the other side had begun to panic.

{{Answer me! Holly is that you!?}}(SQ)

" I'm not Mrs. Holly. But I'm like a child of her.... "(JL)

{{What...}}(SQ)

She thought she was lucky enough to converse with her great grandma Suzy Q. She became determined and spoke in seriousness.

"Don't worry Granny, Me and d- Jotaro... Will take care of Oldman."(JL)

Hearing raven's name the woman gasped again.

{{Jotaro-!? He's also there with-}}(SQ)

The phone got put back as green had ended the call.

The Egyptian from afar made a concerned expression.

"Oh no.... she heard you... Now Mr.Joester will have to face a lot of questions...."(A)

Suddenly the ship began to change its course and go downwards at an alarming speed. Seeing this the Egyptian widened his eyes as he warned.

"EVERYONE BRACE YOURSELVES !!! THE SUBMARINE IS GOING TO HIT THE SEA FLOOR!!!"(A)

"OHHHH MYYY GOODDDD!!!!! WHY DOES ANY VEHICLE WE GET IN ALWAYS CRUSHES!!!!"(P)

"I'm never getting in the submarine again..."(Jk)

Soon the sinking ship hit the flood causing everybody to fall.

The crash did a lot of damage to the walls as the water level began to increase higher.

The bunch somehow managed to Stand up as Kakyoin switched Joseph with Polanerff.

"If this goes on we'll be killed not by the Stand but by suffocation underwater."(A)

"hush... "(Jk)

They all got silent as they looked at raven who was carefully observing something. He turned to the cherry as it caught his(k) attention.

" Kakyoin, did you catch which gauge the Stand turned into ?"(Jk)

This made everybody freeze as it turned out there were too many gauges on the machinery.

" oh god ..... Now what-"(P)

The cherry walked beside Jotaro and pointed at one.

" I think it was that one..."(K)

The rest were all alert ready to attack the enemy if it jumps out of the gauge. The Egyptian however was caught attention by a beeping sound as he looked back and saw one of the pipes turn into the evil Stand as it was preparing to jump at her from the back.

" NO. JOTARO!!! IT HAS ALREADY SWITCHED ITS PLACE !!! IT IS BEHIND IRENE !!!"(A)

This caught all of them off guard as Jolyne turned right on time summoning Stone free.

ORAAAAAAAHHHH

The blue Stand threw a punch at the incoming Stand but it yet again swiftly dodged it flying to her.

The green in reflex held up the fire extinguisher but to her surprise, the Stand had seen it coming.

The Stand purposefully created spikes right on time and impaled a hole swiftly jumping away making the whole cylinder blast in front of green.

"IRENE!!!!"(P, K)

The green fell back all covered in foam and impaled by pieces of metal from the cylinder.

Soon her skin started to burn as she began to scream.

" IT'S TURNING INTO ACIDS !!! QUICK WE HAVE TO GET HER OUT OF HERE!!!!"(A)

The black cried out desperately to save the girl. He rushed to the door and held onto the lock.

But soon he held the handle funny as he glanced at it seeing the enemy Stand staring at him ready to lash.

" Oh no.....the Stand has already-"(A)

The moment it jumped at black, it was instantly caught by Star Platinum. Put pressure in between its massive hands.

"YES! WE CAUGHT IT!!!"(P)

"That... Was close..."(A)

The cherry tried to use his handkerchief to wipe off as many foams from Green as possible.

The raven looking at the enemy Stand sighed.

"Apparently it can't move faster than Star Platinum. What should we do with it now ."(J)

The white beside cheered with all hyped up.

" Jotaro, don't hesitate. Crush its's skull!!?"(P)

"Aye-aye, sir."(Jk)

The muscular Stand began to press the enemy Stand from both sides attempting to crush its skull.

However soon raven's eyes widened as he jerked behind in pain while the snitch Stand slipped out of his grip.

" B-bastard- it turned into a razor!!!"(Jk)

While moving away from the bunch it almost attacked white causing him to drop the unconscious Joseph into the water.

The Stand continued its sick laughter while the rest stared at it in shock.

They were brainstorming any possible way to defeat it.

The elderly who was dropped into the water finally woke up he sat and looked around all confused.

"W-whats going on!? I'm not sure what's happening..But are we in a pinch?"(JP)

"Shut up, Oldman."(Jk)

"Senpai, hold on."(K)

" If we touch it we'll get attacked . So we just need noo touch it!"(A)

The Egyptian summoned his Stand as it shot its blazing flames at the Stand followed by Silver chariot but none of them could do any damage.

"It's hard, Chariot's rapier cant pierce it!"(P)

"tsk"(Jk)

"Everybody, strike it while it's visible!"(Jp)

The cherry held up green.

" No, we must get Irene-san out of this place!"(K)

" Right, I'll open the door. "(P)

He quickly turned the lock and opened the door result water flowing out of the room.

"Haah finally some oxygen! This way Kakyoin!!"(P)

The two ran with green while the elderly followed them.

" Yes! You all must head for the exit while I keep it in control!!"(A)

He scattered flames all over the place resulting in complete wreckage.

Soon Raven and Avdol also joined the other as they ran to the other side of the ship.

" WHAAT!!? Irene answered Suzy's call !?!? DAMNNIT !!!! SUZY's GonnA Kill mE fOr sURE !!?!"(Jp)

The old man cried as he had to make another phone just to make sure he wasn't again.

" shut up old man! And what's our next plan now?"(Jk)

This broke the elderly's thought as he smirked with confidence.

"yes... A brilliant one. I, Joseph Joester have been in a number of situations like this."(Jp)

The cherry who was running with green resting on his shoulders looked back in a tense mood.

"What should we do now? I'm not sure if it's us or the Stand that is trapped. Sooner or later it'll cut its way out of that room and get here. "(K)

The Egyptian who was running alongside him nodded.

"We are definitely at risk with all these mechanisms surrounding us! Not to mention this submarine is done for! We have to abandon it in a few minutes. "(A)

" But how are we going to get out !? Aren't we like 40 meters deep under the sea!???"(P)

Not a moment later he got his answer when they locked themselves in the exit room.

" Now we're gonna scuba dive? I've never done this before. "(P)

He picked up his oxygen tank and wore it behind. The cherry and Egyptian helped green with the medic they picked on their way.  Finally, green was feeling a little better and got back on her feet.

She slowly began to copy others and wore her equipment.  The cherry quickly wore his and approached her.

"Irene-san do you need help with anything."(K)

" No... I'm.. Fine ... "(JL)

The Egyptian helped buckle her tank.

" You should stay silent so the muscles on your face don't move. It'll ease the pain."(A)

Right beside Joseph finished buckling his and saw raven still trying to understand how the diving regulator worked.

The Oldman moved to him and turned him to face him(Jp)

" Here Jotaro let me-"(Jp)

He stopped the moment he took a proper look at raven's face.

The raven slightly confused lifted his eyebrows.

" What? "(Jk)

" OH- "(P)

Now the white also noticed making a surprised look while Kakyoin stood with his face all darkened.

The Egyptian lifted his brows a little surprised by the young man's bravery.

The Oldman was just looking at green and then raven.

" What? Is something on my face?"(Jk)

The old man just stared at raven's lips which had a light shade of green lipstick mark that happens to match green's.

(͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)

The white immediately turned to cherry as they did a ritualistic bro clap like they won some kind of bet.

"N i c e !"(P)

Jolyne with a seriously done face shook in anger as she instantly threw her goggles at Joseph and glared at raven.

" THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT ME ON THE FLOOR DYING!!! NOW THEY THINKING WEIRD SHITS!!! "(JL)

"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOUR STUPID LIPSTICK WAS ON MY FACE!!!"(JK)

" FUCK !!! I WISH I NEVER CAME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE !!!! THIS IS SO FUCKED UP!!! I WANNA KILL MYSELF RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW !!!"(JL)

" Oh come on~ Irene don't be like that.  You two go so well together-"(Jp)

"  SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CURSED OLD MAN!!! YOU'RE THE LAST PERSON ON THE PLANET WHO I'LL HEAR ABOUT DATING ADVISES!!"(JL)

" BITCH YOU SENSITIVE OVER A DAMN KISS ?"(JK)

" NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!! CAUSE I AIN'T FROM ALABAMA YOU BASTARD!!"(JL)

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH"(P)

" WHAT"(Jk, K, JL, A, Jp)

The group quickly turned and saw Polnerff being attacked by High Priestess. It had turned into one of the diving regulators.

The snitch Stand bit Polnerff's mouth and wiggled its way into his mouth. Raven's Stand was charged to catch it but it got inside faster.

Seeing this cherry and green shot their Stands into his mouth as well.

During all of this Joseph turned the wheel and let water get inside the room so they could do their escape faster.

Soon Stone Free and Hierophant Green were able to pull out the little Stand as it slipped its way out from their grip.

The water level had begun to rise as they watched the enemy morph into a speargun. They quickly wore their goggle as cherry charged his Stand at the incoming spear. Followed by Silver Chariot.

The duel had begun while the water filled the place.

While white fought back the enemy the rest quickly swim out of the place. Lastly, Polnerff passed through the exit and Joseph closed the door.

They ditched the submarine there and began to swim through the open water.

The seafloor of the Red sea was breathtaking. It was filled with various types of corals and species of sea creatures.

It was calming and otherworldly. Completely detached from the world.

The crusaders observed the place while slowly moving toward the surface. They were also enjoying the captivating beauty of nature.

Soon the Egyptian pointed forward.

"Look! It's a sea tunnel."(A)

The rest followed his direction looking at it as Jones took a look at the regulator.

"Our depth is seven meters. We're finally at the Egyptian shore."(Jp)

Hearing this the others nodded. 

"Swim along these rocks to the surface."(A)

They did as the Egyptians told them.

While doing so the green who was fascinated by the underwater decided to play around a bit.

Since the last memory of being underwater wasn't very pleasant.

She wanted to have a little mermaid experience. She slowly turned her legs into a tail made out of string holding onto the Swimfin.

She began to swim further ahead in a playful manner by herself. The white who was right behind her gasped in awe.

"Whooaah you can do that too!? That looks so cool:O!!"(P)

"Beautiful."(K)

"Man! If only Purple haze could morph like that. It looks so fun :((( "(Jp)

The Egyptian nodded.

" Indeed. I must say, you have a very versatile Stand Miss Irene."(A)

The green stopped and turned with a silly smile.

" Awe Thanks. Although I'm still pretty new in this concept. Been like only a couple of months since I awakened mine."(JL)

"What."(K)

The bunch stopped for a moment as the trio beside the jojos shared a look.

" Hold on a moment. You awakened your Stand recently? You are not a natural born user ?"(A)

"That can't be ..."(K)

They were in slight disbelief as green looked at them with a confused face while scratching her head.

"uh... Well actually.."(JL)

"Your tail."(Jk)

They looked at him as he was pointing at her tail.

"Why is it motioning down?"(Jk)

They looked at the string tail as it seemed to be slightly being pulled down as if a water current was flowing downwards.

Suddenly a loud sound echoed through the sea as the rocks on the seafloor moved to resemble a gigantic face.

The bunch was right on top of what looked like its mouth of it.

Before they could react fast the mouth opened causing massive pressured suction.

"What!?"(JL, Jk)

In a blink of an eye, they were pulled into the mouth. The green was first to get pulled ahead as raven quickly grabbed her hand.

"Irene!"(Jk)

However, it was already too late as they both got sucked into the mouth of the rest.

They were now trapped in the endless vortex.

"W-what the-!!!!?"(P)

They were swirling around in circles in the mouth filled with high water pressure while all of them panicked.

"W-we're being sucked into its mouth!!!"(Jp)

" WHAT'S WITH ITS SIZE! WHAT IS IT'S STAND POWER!!!!!!?!?!?!"(P)

Sudden in all this chaos, a voice of a woman echoed in the mouth.

"You boys are so slow. Didn't you realize that if the rocks are mineral, that means the sea bed is also mostly mineral too?"(Hp)

This caught everybody's attention as they were grinding in the vortex.

In all this, the cherry shouted.

"The Stand power has increased because the user  is nearby. She must be close."(K)

Hearing this the voice replied.

"Correct! I'm seven meters above, on the surface! But High Priestess will grind you all to bits. So you'll never see my face."(Hp)

Suddenly all the water within the mouth got spitted out leaving the bunch in a dark room.

The crusaders collected themselves and stood up except green.

" I wonder exactly where in the Stand are we ?"(K)

The cherry looked around as his eyes fell on green.

"We are in its mouth. We weren't sucked down through its throat."(Jp)

" Hey, Jotaro!"(Hp)

The bunch looked up except Kakyoin who sat down next to green.

"Jotaro, you're my type so this will be hard for me."(Hp)

The feminine voice became a little softer as she began to confess raven while the white attentively listened to her.

"It's too bad that I have to my Stand digest you."(Hp)

The white slowly moved to the raven, whispering something to his ears.

"If only we met in other circumstances. How sad."(Hp)

Hearing whatever was told to him, the raven shook his head in disagreement but the white insisted on looking.

"But if I kill you, Lord Dio will praise me. So don't hate me."(Hp)

"Good grief do I have to say that?"(Jk)

The white nodded setting up the move.

"Say it! Just hurry up and say it Jotaro!"(P)

He slapped the young man on the back pushing him forward. The elderly a bit confused tilted his head.

"Say what?"(Jp)

"I see."(K)

The cherry muttered staying kneeling next to green at the back.

The raven with no other option fixed his hat and began in a calm tone.

"Midora... I also want to see your face once too. You might be my type."(Jk)

He paused for a second then continued.

"I might fall for you."(Jk)

The white from beside made a blushed face running hand on his head.

"I think she's probably gorgeous. I can tell from her voice."(P)

"Yeah, I also feel like she's my type in terms of besties. Might fall for her too not gonna lie. "(JL)

The green joined from the back.

"Indeed, I get the impression of an elegant woman. That is what my fortune teller instinct says."(A)

"Doesn't she sound like the actress Audrey Hepburn?"(K)

The cherry stood up followed by Joseph.

"It only I were thirty years younger..."(Jp)

The inside of the mouth had turned red as the feminine voice was quiet this whole time. 

They thought they were successful with the act they pulled but the mouth suddenly shook as it seemed the enemy was angered.

"BASTARDS !!!!! YOU DON'T MEAN ANY OF THAT !!!! I'll KILL YOU!!!"(HP)

"Holy shit!!! Everybody looks!!!"(Jp)

The old man pointed at an enormous slimy organ heading toward them.

"What the- what is that!!!?"(K)

"It is its tongue!!!"(Jk)

Suddenly the raven was hit by the tongue off-guard and flew right on one of the teeth.

" oh no the wisdom teeth!!"(Jp)

Not a second later they realized raven was about to get crushed between the huge teeth.

"JOTARO!!!"(Jp, A)

White, Jones, and Magician summoned their Stands to protect the young Jojo.

But before they could do anything the tongue came flying again knocking off everybody while Jotaro tried his best to push back the teeth using Star Platinum's full strength.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU WORTHLESS WORMS!! "(Hp)

They fell badly on the surface while the tongue stood strong in front of them blocking them from reaching Jotaro.

They quickly began to get up real fast to save their comrade.

"NO!! We have to save him!!"(A)

The Egyptian charged his Stand while Joseph stood up holding his slightly hurt arm seeing Jotaro slowly getting pressed under the teeth.

He began to rush at his grandson but

"JOTARO-huh."(Jp)

His feet tripped at something.  He annoyingly glared down and saw diving equipment scattered all over the place.

He looked all over the place and saw cherry far at the distance on the surface with Hierophant wearing the oxygen tank.

He noticed those were green's but she was gone.

"What .. where is .."(Jp)

"JOTARO!!!"(A, P)

The old man turned seeing Jotaro's tank blasting apart with him almost crushed.

" NO!!! JOTARO!"(JP)

"HaHa ha ha ha ha ha ha DIE JOTARO- huh."(HP)

Suddenly all the teeth instantly shattered into million pieces and the bunch was greatly surprised.

Meanwhile on the surface.

A woman all messed up on the sand with her nose and teeth all knocked up.

Green was towering over the evil woman with a cold stare. All soaked with water dripping off of her face.

Her raging blue Stand was right behind her with blood covered on its knuckles.

When they were sucked into the mouth, her legs were still in string form.

And after they were trapped some of her stringed legs were still outside thanks to it being left stretched.

The cherry had noticed that and helped her fully turn into string while he used his Stand to use as a decoy by making it wear her equipment.

She swam up to the surface right on time and finished the one who almost killed her father.

This time no one will touch him.

She will keep him safe.

It was dawn time with the sun lighting the sky and glittering the sea.

She turned to the light as her hair flew free. Waves hit her legs as she stood at the edge line of water and shore.

The great desert of Egypt was in front while the sea was behind.

She had finally come to the birthplace of the curse.

It was as if she was standing on the sea where her story had ended in the past and the shore was the beginning of it all.

She slowly walked up from the water as her foot touched the sand.

She had finally left the end and stepped into a new start. 

A new beginning. 

The Bennu had finally raised from its ashes.

Now the new branch of fate will bloom and spread its routes writing a new destiny.

The Dice of Time shall roll once again.

_______________________________________

The Sun shined bright upon the blue sky as it was late morning. The town very close to the red sea shore stood alone in the mostly remote part of the Egyptian desert.

However, the people of this land were very rich in minds and hearts. Free-spirited with vast open desert above their heads.

No worldly worries, no shackles of modernity.

They lived their lives one day at a time and prayed to their creator and thanked them for the world He created.

Voices of little children reading the holy book in the little town mosque filled the peaceful village as its people were busy doing their daily chores.

After successfully defeating High Priestess the crusaders were able to reach this town and had their rest and a little break.

They must cross the Egyptian desert following  all the way to the Nile river.

However, firstly Joseph had to make an important call to someone...

{{Oh! So you were in a business trip with Jotaro~? How interesting~And who was that girl? And why was she answering your call? Was she in your room?}}(SQ)

The elderly tiredly shook his head holding the phone close to his ear.

"Suzy, you are too worried for nothing. She is a friend of Jotaro who tagged along with us."(Jp)

Suddenly the woman from the other side got silent as she then smirk goofy.

{{Oh!? Jotaro has a girl (͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)?}}(SQ)

" Oh yeah (͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)"(Jp)

The two elderly giggled in the call raven standing a little further with a done face.

{{Oh my !! Let me speak to her! I must know what of her caught my grandson's heart.}}(SQ)

The oldman shrugged looking both side.

"Uhh but she.."(Jp)

Suddenly a loud sound of a bike caught his attention as green waved riding it.

"Ayoo Oldman! Check out this sick bike I bought!!!"(JL)

She did a drift right before stopping in front of the two as sands flying from the street cover raven.

"Yare yare another one...."(Jk)

The green stick out her tongue to annoy raven when she noticed the oldman creepily smiling at her and motioned her to get close.

"Oh, you're here. Come over here, my lady wants to talk with her grandson's 'F r i e n d' (͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)"(Jp)

"ahh shit..."(JL)

The green could already tell the crap the elderly had brainwashed her great grandma .

She tired snatched the phone as she awkwardly spoke.

"uhh... Um.. Hello? This is Irene.."(JL)

{{OH.MY.GOD, you sound just like Holly !! I'm so happy to hear you again! So tell me where are you from, cup size, waist size, are you an american? Because you don't sound Asian. Where and when did you meet my grandson? Do you like him? Also, can you tell Joseph to take your picture and mail me as soon as possible?}}(SQ)

"Maam calm down you getting too overboard on this-💀"(JL)

{{Well of course I am! I want the best girl for my grandson so I need to make sure you get through all the conditions.}}(SQ)

"I'm sorry💀💀💀???"(JL)

{{Oh don't be shy~ I know deep down you feel fascinated by his charm. He goes after his grandfather you know ;)}}} (SQ)

" umm Grandma Suzy..."(JL)

The old lady stopped for a moment being taken back by the address.

" I'm very happy to have the chance to talk to you. But I have to clear this.. I'm not romantically attracted to your grandson. To me..."(JL)

She slowly glanced back at raven who was inspecting the bike with great focus.

"He's like a family... Close to my Dad. I know it sounds strange but it is truth. To me he is like my ... Late father.."(JL)

There was a small gasp on the other side as the lady's tone became soft .

{{Oh... My... I'm sorry.. I did not know...well actually now that I hear you more. You sound very much like my Daughter Holly... Perhaps you are more like a sister of our young Jojo I suppose.}}(SQ)

The green made a awkward face but figured it's better than the first one.

" uhh.. Well .. Yeah you could say that... Anyways, I gotta go.Please take care of yourself and don't worry about these two idiots. I promise I'll make sure they come back home safe. "(JL)

{{ oh my .... You.. Sound so much like him.. }}(SQ)

" ???"(JL)

{{You sound just like Jotaro ... And somehow like Sadao.. Jotaro's father I mean.}}(SQ)

"....Really?"(JL)

The green was a bit taken aback. She had never heard of her grandfather. She only knew he was a jazz musician.

It was surprising to know she goes after her father and her grandfather.

Maybe that is what they call blood ties .

{{Yeah... And that courageous and kind heart... Definitely a Kujo~}}(SQ)

The green smiled. She always hated to be called a Kujo and even tried to changed her name.

But now for the first time she was proud and happy to be called Kujo.

"I see..."(JL)

{{ Well I should probably get some sleep , have a very busy day tomorrow. Have fun and take care of those two for me ,Jojo... Ah.. Sorry you're not. I mean, Look after them for me , Irene.}}(SQ)

The green chuckled realising even her great grandmother could not resist calling her by her true identity.

Truth really finds its way out.

"I will ... Grandma Suzy"(JL)

{{Alrighty!! Bye bye Miss Irene~}}(SQ)

The call ended with green putting the telephone back on the receiver.

The raven who was right next to tge bike with Joseph looked at her.

"What did she say?"(Jk)

The two men were touching her bike and appreciating its engine which made them look like little children in love with their toy looking at their mother.

The green smiled and laughed walking to them and ruffling both of their hair at the same time.

" She said ... To look after you two knuckleheads ! Especially you! You oldman!"(JL)

She bonked the oldman's head making him annoyed in a chdish way.

"Ow come on! I'm not old !!"(Jp)

"Nah you're in your youthful 60's-"(JL)

Her mouth gets instantly pinched shut by Jones.

"✨SHUT✨"(Jp)

"OI you guys!"(P)

The call caught their attention as they saw a car stopping right ahead of them. As cherry stood up from the car waving at them happily.

"Look over here! We got the car!"(K)

"This car is a monster one for sure!"(P)

The white slapped his new car like his non existent girlfriend.

The green smirked moving beside dragging joseph revealing the new bike she had bought.

"Ha! Nothing close to like my bad boy here!"(JL)

"WHOAAAH That's a cool bike!I wanna ride with you on it !!!"(P)

The white almost got off of his car when oldman shattered his dreams.

"Not happening. I'm too old- I mean cool  to drive and Avdol does not have a licence. And these two are minors. So you are the only one who can drive."(Jp)

The smile faded away of white as he made an tired face.

"Just admit you old. Oldman-"(P)

"✨Shut✨"(Jp)

The white got shut down as they all laughed and got on the vehicle with green Starting her bike.

Before leaving she noticed raven giving secret glances at her bike. She could safely say he very much liked that bike but couldn't say anything.

Seeing his silent desperation the green lastly asked him if he would ride with her.

Raven at first denied but green was insisting.

Since oldman was not letting him due to them being still in town area. There was no way he can get in trouble with police.

So in the end raven agreed as it seemed he really liked the bike. The green made an agreement with him that she'll let him drive once they are out in the open desert.

Soon they were on their way to cross the great desert of Egypt toward their final destination.

_______________________________________

In the darkened city of Cairo when the moon was behind the thick curtains of clouds. The city was cold and in deep slumber.

Only the magicians, tricksters , wicked beings roamed on the empty  streets.

Dogs and cats remained silent. Too afraid to impose the evil that lurked in the dark.

In that chilling cold city stood a mighty grand mansion. It's presence was mysterious and unease. 

Something very dark and unholy was behind those walls. .

Faint chants and screams could be heard. However no one around that particular area was imposing. 

They were also bewitched and in control of an unknown force hiding in that mansion.

Just a few small buildings behind on the fourth floor, a small binocullar observed the entrance of the mysterious structure.

It was a an under cover agent working under SWF.

Soon he witnessed a movement.

Nine people, all covered in cloaks walked out of the mention. Clearly those where the devil's servants. He could see something in one of the member's hand.

But before he could see any further, his head head got instantly chopped off by an unknown man who had been observing him this whole time.

The blood pooled across the floor and the killer picked up the head and vanished into thin air.

And as for what the dead man had witnessed before his death...

One of the henchman of the devil held a small piece of paper.  Which happened to be a picture.

A picture of Green with the star shaped birthmark.
