What happened previously:
"Well if it isn't Jotaro." Polnareff yelled, exiting the car as they saw the Highschool delinquent in front of the hospital building.
"Hey, took you long enough. Where is Y/N?" Jotaro asked.
"We took too long?" Joseph asked. "How did you poop behind that rock so fast? I cannot believe you got here before us.....You even went to the dry cleaners?"
Polnareff took the bag of oranges. "Hey Jotaro, do you finally admit to have a crush?"
"What the hell are you two-" Jotaro inquired irritated.
"Who has a crush on whom?" You asked smoothly coming from behind Joseph, startling them.
"Nothing! Did you find the enemies?" Polnareff yelled as you nodded.
"Yep, they were already taken care of accordingly. "Oh, the ambulance." You noticed smirking.
"Oranges? Just about time, I was getting thirsty-" Jotaro stated taking one from the bag, Polnareff was holding, beginning to peel it as the doors of the ambulance opened revealing the beat up brothers.
"Those clothes...." Polnareff mumbled.
"Do you know him?" Jotaro asked as you kept silent.
"No of course not." Polanreff waved him off, shrugging.
"Come on, let's go find out how Avdol and Kakyoin are doing." Joseph decided as you walked over to Jotaro casually.
"So you have a crush on someone? Tell me, who is the lucky man or the lucky lady?" you smiled encouragingly as his eyes widened, trying to avoid facing you to hide his blush, while you cocked your head to the side not prying further.
"And so the brothers eventually gave up. The battle was over and Jotaro and the others were none the wiser. Ba-dum-tss."
Anubis part 1
Inside Kakyoin's hospital room all of the Crusaders were assembled, crowding around him, even the freshly recovered Avdol.
"Any improvement with your injuries Avdol?" You asked the Egyptian fortune teller. "I see you have woken up."
"Yes. But I am relieved to know you will be all right, Kakyoin." Avdol replied smiling, addressing the red head.
"Well, I...Luckily my cornea was not damaged thanks to Y/N, so they expect me to make a full recovery. I remember when I was in middle school and my classmate was struck by a baseball directly in the eye. It turned out he was fine the next day. The eye only lost a bit of fluid." Kakyoin chuckled.
"He was lucky." You blinked.
"Are you serious?" Polnareff yelled in disbelief same with Joseph.
"The bandages will come off in a few days. So I will catch up with you later." Kakyoin reassured you sa you sighed. "Thank you Y/N for fixing me up, or else I would have gone blind."
"No problem Kakyoin, I am just glad that you are going to be okay, please recover quickly and catch up with us later." You smiled ruffling his hair as he blushed lightly.
"By the way can't you just heal him up, Y/N?" Joseph asked perplexed as you shrugged your shoulders.
"My Stand could do it, however it would e better for Kakyoin to recover on his own since it is more natural that way and won't strain his body unnecessarily." you explained as the rest nodded. "This is why I try not to heal every single scratch from now on, but focus my energy on major wounds for now until I completely recover."
"Yeah, you are right Y/N. IT is less than eight hundred kilometers to Cairo.....and Dio. It is understandable. Everyone, you must be vigilant." Kakyoin agreed.
"Hmm, what language is this hospital bill in...." Polanreff complained at the reception "Arabic? Man, it is so confusion. The 0 is supposed to be five.....The decimal is zero and seven is a six? And this wormy-looking one is...."
"A four." Avdol came to his rescue. "So the total amound we owe is...."
"FORTY-SIX THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FIFTY EGYPTIAN POUNDS?!!" Polnareff screeched as you covered your ears just in time sighing. "THAT IS INSANE!!"
"Do not worry Polnareff, I am going to pay." You stated calmly "After all, I am the only one able to pay in cash."
"Wow, thanks Y/N." Joseph yelled.
"Together with my beloved godson Joseph Joestar that is." You added smirking mischieviously as he stared at your mouth agape.
"He is adorable." You heard the nurses coo from outside, playing with Iggy outside the door. "What is he I wonder? He is so funny looking! What in the worlds? He is chewing gum. He must be waiting for someone. Such a good little doggy." The nurse giggled.
"And here I thought he was waiting outside." Avdol sweatdropped.
"Good grief." Jotaro grumbled.
"So he is a hit with ladies, is he?" Polnareff, exclaimed, walking out as you and a crying Joseph paying the hospital bill.
"I wonder why he is chewing gm. What a weird little puppy." A nurse thought out aloud as Polnareff approached them from behind.
"Uhm, help?" The Frenchman announced his presences catching their attention. "Let me give you some advice. You'd best step away from that dog. He may seem charming but he basically hates people. If you are not careful, he will make you-"He informed them as Iggy leapt at him, latching on to Polnareff's face...."Damn mutt! Get off my-", releasing a fart as the nurses burst out laughing. "You stinking.-"
"Ew! He tooted! He is so cute! You get along so well." They giggled.
"We do not get along at all! Damn it Iggy! Get off of me!" Polnareff cried out, trying to pry the small dog off him as you and the rest of the Crusaders exited the building.
"Sorry ladies, but we have to take them with us now, my apologies for interrupting you all. "Sorry ladies, but we have to take them with us now, my apologies for interrupting you all while you were having so much fun." You spoke up suavely making them all blush and fawn over you.
"Y/N, stop that you know what effect it has on women, Jotaro will end them! And Polnareff, catch you later lovebirds." The old Joestar interfered as Jotaro promptly stopped glaring daggers lat the women, averting his gaze as you waved Joseph off, laughing, and moving along.
"Mister Joestar? Y/N? Hey, hang on!" Polnareff shouted after your group as Iggy passed wind in his face again. "You...You nasty little mutt!" The silver haired swordsman screeching angrily.
--
"In ancient Egypt, the dead were always buried on the west bank of the Nile where the sun sets. That is why all Egyptian cities stand on the east side of the Nile. On the west you will find graves and mortuary temples." You explained as all of you were on a small ship with white sails.
"But our enemies do not care about east or west. They will come from all directions." Joseph stated grimly as you took notice of a group of thee elderly men, a cow and a young man who was struggling to carry the large bag all on his own at the Nile's east river bank.
"Guys I will be back shortly. See you around." You decided, jumping overboard as they called after you as you walked on water towards the group that was too busy to notice you as the Crusader's shook their head giving up. Knowing it was no use anyways.
"Your cows are far too lazy. They are strong, though, I will give them that...." The man with the grey hat stated, talking to the bald man.
"Chaka! Get a move on! Stop falling behind!" The old father yelled at the muscular son furiously as Chaka tried to hurry up. "Damn it! What kind of man are you? Are you really my son?" He sneered as the other men chuckled in amusement.
"Your cows and your son are just like you!" the men laughed as Chaka continued struggling as he felt a tap on his shoulder, startled he looked over his shoulder coming face to face with the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, staring in your golden eyes as he snapped out of you smiled at him cocking your head to the side as he flinched away startled
"Are you alright? It looks heavy to carry it all by yourself." You asked calmly as he blushed trying to find the right words as his father noticed Chaka stopped, tuning around furiously.
"Chaka! You useless brat! What do you think you are doing?" He screeched.
"Excuse me?" Your eyes flashed golden as you stared the father down. "Don't you see we are talking? Where are your manners?"
"And who the hell do you think you are?" The father stomped over to you as you did not blink an eye, unimpressed.
"Someone who cares about the wellbeing of this young man." You stated blankly as his face contorted into one of fury.
"What are you saying you crazy bitch!?" He grabbed your coat angrily as you did not seem fazed at all.
"Keep your hand of me." Your voice was icy as Chaka panicked behind you.
"Please father stop! She was just asking if I was fine! I overreacted. Please just calm down it is entirely my fault...." He tried to calm him down as his father shoved him on the ground harshly as your eyes dilated.
"Why did you shove your son like that what did he do?!" You yelled.
"So you are trying to seduce my son?! Are you a whore?! " He screeched as your eyes turned pitch black as you grabbed his hand he used to push Chaka twisting it as he screamed in pain as lifted him up effortlessly by his collar as he screamed and kicked.
"Apologize." You growled. "Apologize to your son." You stated calmly as his eyes widened. "you shoved your son and accused him for falling for me, being useless, everything I just counted off was what you said in under one minute." You said icily eyes flashing as you started to strangle him. "You are supposed to love your son and treat him well. This is abuse. If you cannot care for him I will adopt him as of now!"
"Crazy bitch! Who do you think you are?" he screamed, foam coming out of his mouth a you dropped him on the ground and Chaka rushed over ot him but the father only swatted him hand away. "Do not touch me, you filthy idiot."
"Chaka, is that you name, big boy?" you asked gently. "Do you like living with your father? I can help you get away from him."
"....I ......live with my father...." Chaka replied trembling as your heart ached.
"My name is Y/N L/N, head of the Speedwagon Foundation, whenever you are ready, please contact me, here is my number." You gave him your business card you had in your walled slowly. "Think about it." You muttered as his father slowly recovered. "I will take my leave, Chaka, I hope we see each other again under better circumstances." You waved him, walking towards the town of Kom Ombo with a bad feeling lingering in your guts as Chaka was left speechless, before his father snatched the piece of paper from his hands.
You hearing the ripping of paper as closed your eyes frowning.
"That wench!" He screamed throwing the pieces of your business card away, shattering Chaka's heart as the young man ran after the flying paper pieces as he suddenly trapped over a sword lying on the ground, seeing the rest of your business card landing in the Nile. Frustrated he took it, inspecting the new found treasure in sadness with a heavy heart with a hint of bitterness in his voice. "What is a sword doing here?"
"Hey, look! It is a sword! Give me that!" The father yelled ripping it out of his son's hands. "See it as a compensation for the trouble you caused."
"What? Someone must have dropped it." His friends rushed over, now that you were gone, they had nothing to fear.
"Amazing someone left it! This is incredible! It must be worth a fortune. The owner must be in a major panic. You do not think, it might be some kind of artifact? Are you going to turn it in to the police?" The bald man asked excitedly.
"Idiot! This could fetch us lads of money!" The father laughed. "That stupid bitch angered me so much but this saved my day! But she was hot, cannot deny a beauty when I see one!"
But it was me who found it, Chaka thought observing. She just defended me!
"However if it is blunt, it won't be worth anything. Come on! Pull it out." The bald man urged the father.
"Right!" However it did not came undone, no matter how much force the father applied.
"What is wrong?" His friends asked the struggling man.
"It won't come out! It won't budge!" He panted giving up.
"Give it to me." The man wearing the grey hat stated. "Hold that end." He instructed as he held the handle while the other two held on to the sword's sheath, all pulling with all they have for, groaning. "It is no use. The blade has not moved one centimeter."
"Father, let me have a try." Chaka suggested timidly.
"Shut up! How are you going to do it if I cannot, idiot!" the father screamed enraged and frustrated.
"My hand! My hand! My hand! This gaping wound!" The man with the hat screamed as blood gushed out of his hands. "How? How did it cut me? The blade wouldn't even come out! The only thing I grabbed was the hilt!"
"There is something strange about that sword....." The bald man gasped horrified.
"Uhm....How about if I try now?" Chaka spoke up.
"Fine! Go ahead and try already then!" The father barked as Chaka walked over to the sword carefully picking it up, unsheathing it in one swift motion making the men gasp in surprise.
"It just came out. But I did not put any effort into it." Chaka defended himself. "What?....I can hear the blade ringing....."
"I do not know much about swords, but I have never seen a blade this beautiful. It is like a Japanese katana! It glistens, like it is cloaked in ice-cold water...." The bald man observed fearfully.
"What an amazing fine! Hey! Give it to me! You should not be holding it!" Chaka's father yelled trying to get the swords from his tall son. "Hand it over!!" As suddenly the sword embedded itself in the father's torso as blood gushed everywhere making all men scream in terror.
"Hey, why....why did you do it?" the father yelled at Chaka in utter disbelief and betrayal. "That witch! She told you. Didn't she?" He screamed falling to the ground as Chaka backed away in horror.
"I do not know....you were standing behind me. Father....it is not my or her fault!"
"What are you doing? Hurry! We have to take him to a doctor!" The bald man yelled panicking as the sword sliced his head on its own killing him instantly as a pool of blood formed under the two dead men's corpses.
"That sword is evil! It is like it has a mind on its own!" the last friend of Chaka's father wailed as Chaka picked up the sword terrified.
"Be calm. Let your heart grow still Chaka. Their deaths mean nothing, they insulted my Lady Y/N, they deserved to die and deep in your heart you know it." A cool smooth voice spoke up. "Who are you? I cannot see you, but I hear your voice." Chaka shivered holding his head.
"I am the Stand of the God Anubis, Ruler of the underworld.....Deity of embalming, Lord of the dead.....You have unsheathed me. You shall be my Stand user. You are my flesh! You are a virtuoso. I shall make you master of the sword. No one is stronger than you. Wield me and kill! You protect her, Y/N L/N, from any danger."
Suddenly Chaka changed, a dangerous glint replacing the soft glow of his eyes, and green lipstick covering his lips.
"Father and that man both deserved to die. I think I will hack you to pieces too for insulting her." Chaka stated evilly.
"What? Hey Chaka, stop!" The man begged hiding behind the cow "Please stop!"
However Chaka lead by Anubis showed no mercy slicing through the cow as the man was sliced in half.
"Impossible! The cow is unharmed." He whispered as Chaka grinned evilly as Anubis spoke up again.
"Slaughter Joseph! Slice Polnareff! Cleave Jotaro in two! You are a fighting genius! A master of the sword! No one is stronger than you! The world is no match for your blade, now you can protect her and slay those meaning harm to her."
Kom Ombo:
"Do we really have time for this place?" Polnareff asked you as you shrugged your shoulders having rejoined the group feeling uneasy since you left Chaka, you hoped he was alright but you really did not want him seeing you killing his father out of rage so you left, you hated seeing people mistreat others, especially when it comes to parents abusing their children.
"Quit moaning." Joseph ordered. "They have allowed us passage on their ferry. We must show our respect."
"Come on, I am starving! Let's get something to eat." Polnareff went on as you chuckled, walking next to Jotaro in comfortable silence.
"You never stop do you? Here this will tide you over for now." Joseph grumbled holding out coffee-flavored gum.
"That is Iggy's!" Polnareff protested childishly.
"Do not worry about it. Just take it." Joseph insisted walking over to Avdol. "By the way, where can I find a bathroom?"
"Shall we investigate?" The Egyptian fortune teller suggested leaving a speechless Polnareff as you patted his shoulder before following them.
"Hey, mister, over here." A vendor shouted addressing the Frenchman. "Want to buy some papyrus? Papyrus is the original paper! Want a piece of Egyptian history? Look, look! IT is real papyrus!" He gave it to the Frenchman enthusiastically.
"Papyrus?" Polnareff asked suspiciously observing it.
"I will give you a good price." The vendor chuckled.
"It is the real thing?" the silver haired man inquired.
"Of course, my friend. A famous Egyptian craftsman drew this." The vendor whispered.
"Hmm....." Polnareff hummed, ripping it in two without a second thought, shocking the vendor. "It is a fake. Real papyrus would never rip so easily. You cannot fool me." He stated calmly throwing it to the man. "uh? Where are Y/N and Mister Joestar as well as the others?"
In that moment, Iggy leapt in the air, snatching the coffee-flavored gum from him.
"Huh? Iggy? Why, you little.... Hold it!" Polnareff panicked running after the small dog, leaving the vendor.
"Hey! What is with my money?" The vendor shouted, picking up the ripped papyrus...
Running after Iggy, Polnareff ended up at some ruins a bit off from the harbor, filled with a lot of tourists viewing the many pillars.
"That stupid dog, just gave me the slip...." Polnareff huffed walking towards the pillars as a man followed him, the light of the sun illuminating the sight, his sword wrapped in white bandages as Chaka observed the Frenchman.
After a while Polnareff spoke up grimly:"Hey! That is a pretty ballsy move....Preparing to attack me with so many people around. Guys like you are rare. Stand users do not usually show themselves. Let alone face their attacker head on. IT is quite noble really. I did not think any of you were like that. Tell me your name."
"I am Chaka. My Stand is Anubis, Ruler of the Underworld. Jean Pierre Polnareff, your life is mine and I will take my Lady with me!"
"My life is yours?" Polnareff laughed. "You certainly do not mince your words. Your boldness is impressive, I must say." He took a step forward into a more secluded area with Chaka trailing behind until both of them faced each other. "Bring it on! Let's see what your so-called Anubis Stand is made of!"
Chaka slowly took the sword out of its sheath, preparing himself.
"SILVER CHARIOT!" The silver haired man summoned his Stand. He is holding a sword, but is he really going to fight me with that instead of his Stand? Polnareff's thoughts were racing as he got moving.
Something is strange! He noticed as Chaka swung his blade at him and Silver Chariot dodged. His movements... That grip....that stance...they are the hallmark of an amateur! Something is strange. I need to be careful. I need to keep my distance, Polnareff thought, evading Chaka's attacks as suddenly he hid behind a pillar shocking him as Chaka sliced through the pillar!
And cutting Polnareff's chest, making him a bloody mess!
What the hell? The sword passed through the pillar and my shirt too! He cut me without cutting my skirt! Polnareff gasped eyes wide in horror. I would have been killed if I had not stepped back.
At the corners of his eyes he noticed the next attack coming:"You bastard! Silver Chariot! Stop hiding and show yourself!" He yelled getting thrown back by the power of the blade, as Chaka ran from pillar to pillar in incredible speed, impossible to follow with the naked eye as Polnareff panicked.
Crap! How could I? I lost him. He could be hiding behind any one of these pillars. His sword can pass through solid objects and my Silver Chariot's striking range is only about one meter.....Damn! He is tougher than I thought. I cannot believe this jerk is giving me a run for my money in sword fighting. But you won't have the advantage for long! Polnareff's eyes were filled with determination as he jumped on top of a pillar to have a better overview.
"All right, Chaka, old pal! Try and attack me now! You cannot sneak up on me if I am not behind a pillar. You are not going to pop out of the ground are you?" Polnareff taunted him, laughing nervously, looking around as suddenly one of the pillar's was sliced and it was going to fall on him!
"What? The pillar!"
"My sword needs to pass through objects! I can cut through the pillar itself! Die Polnareff!" Chaka declared ready to swing his sword as Polnareff manifested Silver Chariot, shooting the blade of his rapier at one pillar to defect it, piercing Chaka's throat making him cough up blood as Polnareff evaded the pillar jumping to the ground closing his sapphire eyes as Chaka landed on the ground unconscious but still alive.
"That was close." Polnareff muttered. "Even Jotaro does not know about that technique. Silver Chariot can launch its rapier. I have on e chance only. If the opponent dodges, I am done for. I use it only as a last resort." Walking over to Chaka's body, he stated. "No, I did not kill you but I do not think you will be fighting again....That is strange." Polnareff noticed his weapon, walking over to the sword, picking it up.
"The sword is back in its scabbard. Did it just slip back in by chance?" He unsheathed it as he looked at the blade in sheer amazement as it glowed, reelecting the sunlight, bewitched by its beauty.
"Now that I see this sword up close, I see its beauty....I must unsheathe it...." He breathed out as suddenly Iggy barked loudly, snapping him out of it, putting the sword back in.
"Hey Polnareff. There you are." Jotaro stated appearing on the scene with the rest of the crusaders.
"You worried us, going off like that by yourself. We thought you had been ambushed." Joseph grumbled as Polnareff took a deep breath holding his head. "Polnareff?"
"Huh? Oh, it is you, Mister Joestar." Polnareff replied. My mind is so fuzzy....Maybe it is from being tossed around or maybe it is from all these wounds. He let go off the sword as Iggy growled at it.
"Polnareff, why are you squatting?" You asked concerned. "Are you feeling okay?"
"Wait! Where did you find that sword? Did something happen?" Avdol asked.
"Yeah, I was just fighting that jerk." He answered.
"What? An enemy Stand user?!" Joseph yelled alarmed, tensing up.
"It is over now. He said his Stand was the God Anubis, he is lying over there. IT was a Stand that could phase through objects and cut them. He was a powerful opponent." Polnareff said as you gasped running over to the unconscious body, shocking the men as Jotaro followed you.
"Chaka!" You yelled, kneeling next to him, healing his wound at his throat as he did not respond, however his pulse and breath were stable, thankfully, making you sigh in relief.
"You know him?" Jotaro asked curiously.
"Yeah, he was the reason I left the boat earlier, he came across as a shy and timid boy with an abusive father, I wonder what happened to him.....he was so sweet, he could not protect himself before, he had a low self esteem ad did not seem to ever fight back to his violent father...This is so bizarre...." You responded as Jotaro nodded as you carried him bridal style back to the group making them gasp.
"Y/N what are you doing this guy is the enemy!" Polnareff protested.
"So was N'doul....." You replied shortly. "I do not go back on my promise; he will join the Speedwagon Foundation now and get a better life, no matter if he is Dio's ally or not from what I have seen his father is a terrible person...no way we can release him now with him being a potential violent Stand user, even though I doubt it. Now back to the sword." You stated calmly shutting the Frenchman up.
"Yeah, all right...He attacked me with this sword...." Polnareff begun patting the ground next to him noticing the sword was missing."Huh? It is gone...Rats are running off with the sword!" He yelled in disbelief."HEY!" He yelled as they dropped it and Polnareff went over to pick it up again. "Talk about creepy... so rats steal stuff here? If you want to steal, go steal some damn cheese!" He huffed trying to unsheathe it but it would not move."Huh? Now the sword is stuck in the scabbard."
"Polnareff!" The old Joestar called out to the Frenchman
"I am glad you are all right. But do not ever run off by yourself again it is too dangerous. They will attack if you are alone for even a few seconds." Avdol added grimly as they suddenly heard a loud honk in the distance.
"Oh, that must be our ship." You stated blankly"We should better hurry. We need to get to Edfu today. There I am able tocontact the Foundation to take Chaka with them." You said calmly smiling at thegroup before turning on your heels, walking back to town, with the restfollowing
