Author's Note:
Hey guys sorry I was not able to update yesterday, something came between, so here is your chapter^^, please don't be mad.
Next we are starting with the other D'Arby, slowly but steadily we are nearing the end of Stardust Crusaders! OMG!!! Please Enjoy....vote and comment! ^^
What happened previously:
Smoking a cigarette casually, Polnareff put it out sighing. "Come on, Avdol! Do you really think that guy can find Dio's mansion?" He asked his friend.
"If not, no one can. No one know Cairo's complex maze of streets better than he does. Be patient. Have faith." The Egyptian fortune teller replied.
"You say that, hut we looked for three days, with no luck. I do not see how finding it in three hours is remotely possible." Polnareff stated.
"You are becoming tedious, Polnareff." Avdol crossed his arms." Could you try to gain some composure?"
"Look we are all on edge. All we can do now is talk to the locals." Joseph replied as Jotaro stayed quiet.
"Jeez. To top it all off, Iggy is nowhere to be seen. Where the hell did the stupid mutt run off to?" The Frenchman mumbled tiredly.
"Iggy is a loner by nature. I am sure he is close by, He will show up eventually." Joseph stated. "Aren't dogs supposed to light up and wag their tails with glee when they see humans? And here we are stuck with the little cynic...." Polnareff complained.
I managed to get away. That thing's ice took the skin right off my paws" Damn it! I now I should have let that human kid fix his own problems or let Y/N handle him and now look at this mess, Y/N is now captured by the enemy. That bird's stand is no joke. He cut her off not only form the fight but cut off her escape route too. That was no ordinary ice. He is not showing all his cards. I better get the hell out of here. Iggy decided, trotting down the street carefully as suddenly Pet Shop came from the next corner startling him as the falcon flew towards him shooting icicles as Iggy ran for his life, dodging Pet Shop's continuing attacks.
Talk about holding a grudge! Iggy cursed in his head as he had to stop, letting a truck pass as Pet Shop fired again, Iggy having to use the Fool to block them as dust covered the area.
However as the dust cleared only a crate was seen on the road..... Iggy disappeared. Where did he go?
The Guardian of Hell, Pet Shop Part 2
Damn it! That bastard does not hold back. He is only a bird. Iggy grumbled, hiding inside the sewerage, having entered from the drain.
This place reeks, but it will have to do for now. I have to keep quiet and hide out down here until he gives up. I doubt they will try to kill YUN, so I have to focus on staying alive. Iggy muttered to himself, turning around as he came face to face with Pet Shop!
What is up with this bird?! He screeched as the falcon fired another round of icicles at the black and white haired dog as suddenly the dog's head was cut off landing in the dirty water as the falco " smirked" as suddenly-
"Hey! Do not underestimate me! What, you think you just killed is actually my shape shifting Stand the Fool!" The real Iggy barked as his Stand transformed back ripping open Pet Shop's chest swiftly.
"Got you! Bird brain!" Iggy smirked landing as the bird sailed to the ground, bleeding out.
"Looks like you are losing a lot of blood there. You might want to keep still I do not give a rat's ass about you or your master Dio. Let's just call this a draw. You got a few good hits on me with those ice missiles so we are even, okay?" Iggy tried to negotiate as Pet Shop stood up, glaring at the dog. "What the hell? Does he think he is Bruce Lee or something? Hey! I said I will stay away from your boss's mansion. Let's stop this already. Okay?"
Suddenly the air started freezing as Iggy's eyes widened as the entire underground tunnel was frozen over as Pet Shop's Stand Horus manifested, a huge iron bird with many claws and no wings tail and terrifying metallic eyes as it screeched vigorously.
"So that is what your Stand looks like?" Iggy gritted out as Pet Shop froze his wounds over, stopping the bleeding as he covered them with ice. "He stopped the bleeding by freezing it?"Iggy's eye twitched. "Crap! He blocked the exit with ice when I was not looking! The ice is coming this way!" Iggy noticed jumping away. "Shit! It is starting to cover the tunnel! I have to get out of here! He ran for his life, the ice approaching fast as Pet Shop screeched throwing another ice attack to cover the other exit too.
"It blocked this exit, too!" Iggy gasped as he dodged another attack running into a side tunnel as Pet Shop chased after him. "He is locked onto me! He is insane! He is not relentless! He is a hunting machine! If he catches me, he won't just kill me! He will eat me alive!.... WHAT?! MY PAW!" He felt his paw being stuck in the ice as he tried to get free. "I cannot get my pay out!" He panicked as Pet Shop "snickered", shooting more ice at Iggy as Iggy bared his fangs as dust covered the entire area as Pet Shop made his round.
Pet Shop's eyes widened as he saw only Iggy's paw stuck in his ice as he trembled furiously as he then noticed bubbled coming from inside the water, the dirty water slowly coloring red slowly.
The sun was slowly letting as Joseph checked his pocket watch grimly as Jotaro gritted his teeth, thought always wandering off to you.
"Hey the sun is about to set." Joseph muttered a bad feeling settling in his guts."Three hours, my ass." Polnareff complained. "Guess that cocky beggar never did find Dio's mansion like he said he would, however Y/N did not return too, that worries me a bit, but she can watch over herself pretty well.... Eh, Avdol?"
"I just had a disturbing thought." Avdol mumbled, sweat tickling down his face. "I am beginning to hope he has not found the mansion... It is very possible they have not returned because they did find it."
"Hey!" Jotaro tensed up.
"I have a sickening feeling. That a Stand user is guarding Dio's lair. We may have put that beggar's life in grave danger." Avdol stated.
"Ah come on! That is why Y/N went with him, you know she is pretty strong, she could beat me no sweat." Polnareff pointed out.
"Do not forget it is Dio's mansion we are talking about, exactly the place where Y/N should not be..... Dio's minions and Dio himself are far too much of a risk to take, they might not be able to kill or fight her successfully but they could keep her from getting away. Lady Y/N's power lies in endurance and is completely unmatched in abilities as she can simply regenerate.... So to put it simple she cannot die on the other hand she can be defeated and be restrained. To top it off Dio is the one who knows her best or longest of all of us." Avdol replied grimly as Jotaro clenched his fists, blood dripping on the ground.
Meanwhile at the river, Iggy was hiding underwater, being washed out of the sewer system through a pipe, his Stand the Fool connected to the surface with a water reed he made himself a little secret hideout underwater.....
My leg... Iggy groaned as he lost a hefty amount of blood. The ice caught my paw like a bear trap. I would have been dead meat if I had not gnawed it off. I will hide here for a while. I have to hide and get him off my tail! The Speedwagon Foundation can make me an artificial le or Y/N can heal me up, but I think that is out of question now... Now I am pissed! Damn bird! You are not getting away with this! I am going to make you pay! Just you wait! Iggy barked as suddenly something dove underwater.
That sound! Something just dove into the water! No..... It cannot be!
-
Birds are capable of plunging into water. Like any human or canine, a bird has lungs to breathe. But the average bird also has some five to six air sacs in its cheat and stomach. The air sacs allow a bird to fly and remain conscious where a human could not at altitude of six to seven thousand meters. Even when strangled, a bird can survive for several minutes thanks to its internal air reserves. Which means a bird can stay underwater much longer than a dog!
-
Something is diving this way! Iggy realized panting. That is impossible! I cannot believe it! It is heading right for me! Is it? It cannot be?!
Suddenly a huge ice missile pierced through his Stand as water started to get inside as Iggy saw Pet Shop through the ice.
It is that bird! How can a bird survive under water? Iggy thought panting: That bastard, where did he go? As he waited, tension raising as he could not see where Pet Shop is at, staring into the darkness of the water as in that moment three deadly-sharp icicles flew at his hideout.
He is closing in! Iggy realized in terror. He is going to attack again. More icicles, one two, three.... Three are coming this way! He panicked as he deflected them making sand paws, swatting them away as sweat rained down his face.
However Pet Shop was not giving up, sending one attack after the other effortlessly as then the Fool deflected them right back at the flacon.
"Right back at you!" Iggy barked as one managed to pierce through one of Pet Shop's wings tainting the water red as the falcon screeched in pain, disappearing in the darkness. "I did it. How do you like that?" Iggy gritted out as he noticed I the corner of his eyes the huge ice missile which got through the Fool's barrier starting to freeze.
"The wall is not leaking anymore.... The icicle's base is freezing the wall!.... What now?!" Iggy gritted his teeth as it started rumbling.... "I know what he is up to. He is freezing the water all around me!....And he severed my air piped! He is not trying to suffocate me. He is trying to bury me alive!" Iggy connected the dots as his Stand the Fool was completely covered with ice that was steadily growing, increasing the pressure on his Stand as Iggy could not uphold it much longer, dirk falling on him.
"It is no use. It is going to collapse! It is too powerful! I cannot hold him off! I am surrounded by ice and freezing water! Damn it! So much for a decent hiding place!" Iggy cursed starting to dig in the ground with one leg." I am just going to have to dig my way out. Man, today is really not my day! I lose my leg and some psychotic demon bird want me flattered and flash frozen for dinner! To top it all off Y/N is in the hand of the enemy... I cannot hold him off anymore. I am going to be crushed. I need to dig myself out, pronto!" Iggy gritted out, being at a pretty decent depth already as the.-
"Huh? What is that? Some kind of cave?" Iggy asked himself as he came face to face with a pair of piercing blue eyes as his face contorted into one of utter horror.
"It is the bird?!" He gasped as Pet Shop opened his beak, a huge icicle forming, pointing it at the black and white haired dog.
"He is going to shoot an ice missile! Crap, my Stand is behind me! There is no way I can defend myself. Nowhere to escape!" He watched the ice missile growing bigger and bigger in front of his eyes in terror as suddenly his spirit was filled with courage and pure determination.
"That is it! There is no other way! It is do or die!" HE screamed as the barrier broke. "I let the dome break on purpose! The air pressure will catapult me!" He commented his actions, screaming as he bit down Pet Shop's beak as steam came out of it as his beak finally broke under the pressure.
Iggy was flung to the river's surface as the ice shattered Iggy gasping for air.
"I did it.... I finished him off. Dam bird got what he deserved...." He looked at the setting sun as the sky tinted into a beautiful mix of warm inviting orange, yellow and hint s of a full mysterious violet and royal blue.
".... But I am done for.... I have lost a ton of blood...." He panted barely keeping himself above water."I do not have the strength to swim to shore. I am going to drown..." He breathed out giving up as he started sinking into the dark abyss.
I was supposed to live a trouble-free life. Iggy thought as his life flashed before his eyes, thinking back on his time as a street dog living in New York City, where he fought other strays with his Stand winning victoriously or being swarmed by the female dogs begging for his attention,
escaping from the dog catchers each time ripping out chunks of their hair and blowing wind in their faces.... The day he fought against Avdol and lost as he got caged in and was offered coffee-flavored gum for the first time.....
Damn it.... Goofed up... He thought, reminding himself of the time he spent with the Crusaders, eating gum all the time, the time he brought back Jotaro's hat in the Egyptian desert after they fought N'doul, when he strayed through the various towns when he farted in Joseph Joestar's face, the time he spent with Polnareff, ripping out his precious hair, hanging around with you as you scolded him for taking your cake and the look in your eyes as your limbs were torn off in front of his eyes....
Sinking deeper and deeper he apologized for the first time in his life.....
Suddenly a boy gasped as he reached the surface, holding Iggy close to his chest as he had rescued the small canine.
"I cannot believe it.... I was passing by and saw you struggling in the river..... The bird got you, didn't it? Just like he got my dog.... Where is that kind sir you were with? Your owner, who told me to run? IS he still in there? Oh my God.... It is my entire fault, had I not tried to get in there you and the kind sir would be still okay!" he whimpered looking around, shaking his head, addressing the dog. "You will be okay. The bird is gone. You cannot die! Hang in there! I will patch you right up. I have to! Or else I won't be able to forgive myself!"
"That bird": Pet Shop
Stand: Horus
Status: Deceased
The next day, Avdol , the old Joestar, Polnareff and the Highschool delinquent walked around Cairo, grimily, no trace of you to be found making them conclude you had fallen into the hand of the enemy.
"Damn it.... We should have never let Y/N go alone with that beggar!" Polnareff cursed, gritting his teeth as Jotaro bit his lip, drawing blood. "And Iggy, where did that damned dog go? He has got to stop doing this!"
"I am very worried. He has been gone a while.... But we have to focus on finding Y/N; I have got a very bad feeling about this." Joseph frowned.
Suddenly Jotaro stopped walking, turning around as he heard your voice screaming, your blood covered face flashing in front of his eyes as his star birthmark stung.
"What is the matter, Jotaro?" Joseph asked his grandson as Jotaro looked straight ahead, adrenaline rushing through his system, sweat tickling down his handsome face.
"So someone is following us." Avdol shouted alarmed as Jotaro turned away, face in the shadows.
"No, I just felt like Y/N was just calling out to us..."
"Y/N's voice? That is strange I heard nothing, only my birthmark stung a little..." Joseph replied pondering deep in thought, body tensing up.
In that moment they hear muffled whimpers coming from around the corner as they saw Iggy limping over to them on his three remaining legs.
"Iggy?" Avdol realized, eyes wide as the Frenchman ran over to the injured dog.
"Iggy!"
"What happened to you?" The Egyptian fortune teller inquired.
"He has got injuries all over!" The old Joestar yelled.
"Hey! He is missing his front leg too!" Polnareff pointed out, sweat tickling down his pale skin. "Did he get run over by a car?"
"He is not the kind of dog that gets into car accidents." Avdol observed Iggy's exhausted form carefully. "You were attacked, weren't you, Iggy?"
Squatting down Joseph picked him up. "Looks like someone treated his wounds. They did an incredible job."
"But there is someone else too." Jotaro looked around suspiciously as the other's perked up.
"It appears Iggy had a run-in with the enemy. We saw a boy holding him. He was half dead. The doctors from the Speedwagon Foundation tended to his wounds. Just like...... my eyes." A familiar voice spoke up, red hair, black sunglasses over his amethyst eyes as the remaining Crusaders looked at him not trusting their senses.
"You are...." Polnareff gasped as the teenager wearing a dark green school uniform took off his sunglasses smiling at them.
"KAKYOIN!" All of them yelled excitedly running over to their comrade.
"It is Kakyoin! Hey!" Polnareff greeted him enthusiastically paten the teenager's shoulder.
"Kakyoin, how are your eyes?" Avdol questioned smiling.
"fine, thanks to Y/N and her Foundation's treatment. I am glad you are all safe." Kakyoin replied happily looking around for you.
"We missed you! I see they treated you well." Joseph smirked.
"Yes, I am fine now. I have got a few light scratches remaining, but my eyesight is back to normal, Y/N will be able to heal them up as well." Kakyoin replied calmly, eyebrows furrowing as he could not spot you.
"Thank goodness." Joseph sighed as Jotaro and the cherry lover shook hands at their reunion.
"Jotaro... it is good to see you again. Where is Y/N? I wanted to show her the improvement I made with Hamon." He chuckled as he noticed the men's attitude change drastically, grim expressions settling on their faces... "Where is she?" He asked body tensing up.
"We would like to know as well." Joseph frowned, fists clenched. "But we are under the heavy assumption she has fallen into the hands of the enemy."
".... Mister Joestar, this is no matter to joke about...." Kakyoin laughed in disbelief looking at Jotaro horrified as the men stayed silent. ".... No way...."
Suddenly Iggy jumped out of Joseph's arms landing on the ground barking at them.
"Hey Iggy, where are you going now?"
"....He may have been indifferent towards humans and Stands before, but it looks like he is trying to lead us somewhere..... I do not know what happened between him and the enemy Stand, but now, I would say it is a matter of revenge." Kakyoin whispered still not really comprehending that you were now under Dio's control while Iggy started trotting in one direction full of determination.
"Just where is he taking us?" Joseph asked dumbfounded, following the dog.
"Hey Iggy, hold on!" Polnareff yelled running after them as the rest followed after them.
Walking through Cairo's streets Joseph stopped abruptly noticing the beggar's crashed car being hauled off.
"That car! It is the same fancy car that beggar was driving. This wreckage... is...." Sweat tickled down the American's, with British descent, face as all of them understood what it meant. "What did this? There is a huge ole, like some gigantic pillar tore through the windshield."
"It is just as I feared." Avdol gulped. "I knew we should not have let them go. Could this be the work of the Stand user that Iggy possible encountered?"
"There seems to be little doubt.... Iggy!" Joseph shouted after the dog as all of the men walked after him, tension rising as suddenly the air grew steadily thicker and harder to breathe, the same road getting harder to walk on....
"Hey, what is this?" Polnareff asked, panting. "I am in a cold sweat all of a sudden. I feel this oppressive doom. Where is Iggy trying to take s?" He questioned as slowly
"I know this feeling. This aura of evil." Joseph gasped as a huge building came into view.
"This mansion..." Avdol gulped nervously as he felt a menacing aura coming from it.
"The one from the picture.... "Jotaro gritted out as he felt your screams intensify, making his ears ring.
"Iggy! You were able to find it?" Sweat poured down the silver haired swordsman's face.
What lay before them was something more evil and more sinister than anything Jotaro and the other's had encountered before. Finally, the source of their predicament, the very embodiment of evil, their destiny was within grasp.
The path that had led them here was long. Mysterious foreign lands and treacherous Stand using assassin met them at every step. Every battle was a struggle for survival and the journey touched everyone. There were tears, and there was laughter, sadness and rage. There was joy as well as loss. Nearly fifty days has passed since the team left Japan on their quest to save Jotaro's mother, Joseph's daughter and Y/N's goddaughter, Holy Kujo. All to defeat Dio. All to end the hundred-year curse and now Y/N's fate.
Joseph was determined. He was going to save his daughter, Holy and his godmother as well as beloved teacher, Y/N L/N. nothing was going to get in his way.
Kakyoin remained resolute. He would defeat Dio, not only to save Holy but to overcome his own weaknesses as well as his own blooming feelings for the woman who healed and treated his wounds far more than one time, the one who taught him Hamon.
Avdol was steadfast. He considered it his duty to locate and root out evil wherever it lurked, wherever it thrived.
Polnareff was unwavering he would make Dio pay. Pay for kidnapping Y/N, for turning him into one of Dio's puppets and pay for making him go against his own principles.
Iggy was furious. He knew Dio, the bastard, was why he was caught up in all this absurdity and he was going to make him pay.
And .....
"So in other words, if we beat the shit out of Dio in there, it will all be over." Jotaro gritted out as your screamed got early unbearable making him bite his lip, drawing blood, as Joseph held his head in pain, seeming to hear it too while the others didn't.
"He is here. This scent of evil, there is no doubt he is inside the mansion together with Y/N." Joseph yelled furiously, a fire burning in his soul.
"Which means that we....." Avdol spoke up.
".....have finally reached the end of the journey." Polnareff finished his friend's sentence.
"ARE YOU READY?!" Joseph yelled as the main gate swung open dramatically, your screams stopping abruptly...
Entering the peaceful backyard Iggy thought: The gate just opened. We can just walk in? It was closed yesterday but it opened for Y/N too.
Carefully stepping through the main gate Joseph spoke up:"Just as I can sense him, he can sense us. Entering this mansion would be like walking into a trap. Now.... What do we do now?"
Suddenly the door opened eerily as nobody was to be seen inside, nothing to be heard.
"The door is opening? Stay on guard!" Joseph warned as all of them walked towards it backs pressed against the wall as they peeked inside.
"Hey look at this corridor. It looks like it goes on forever. It cannot be real. It must be some kind of trick or illusion." Polnareff mumbled.
"Polnareff, do not go through that door. Dio has probably got one or two Stand users let to fight us as he has some staying with Y/N....WHAT THE-?! Something is coming this way!" Joseph yelled eyes wide as he saw the silhouette of a man floating towards them...

(YES! KAKYOIN IS BACK!!!! YAS!!!!)
