The Hanged Man And The Emperor

September 14, 1988

It was a sunshiny day in the streets of India. Polnareff agreed with Jotaro's plan to search out for J.Geil and his friend out in the open by himself while both Avdol and Jotaro tailed him in the alleyways, not only watching POlnareff's back for sneak attacks, but also ready to pull one of their own if needed.

"Found him." Jotaro spots a man in a cowboy suit walking alongside a man with two right hands, two which he points out to Polnareff in the distance by talking through Star Platinum.

"J.Geil. I've finally found you." Polnareff pokes the man's back with Silver Chariot's Rapier.

"Ah shit, i didnt expect him to appear so soon..." The Hanged Man stand user curses to his partner. "Alright, Polnareff. You got me? What do you intend on doing now?"

"Are you really asking me this at this point? You took my dear sister's life and pride!" Polnareff beaming in a mix of pride and anger. "I may never be able to bring her back, but i'm sure i can stop this story from repeating itself if it put an end to you right now!"

"Straight and to the point... But arent you forgetting about someone else here, Pol-Pol?" Hol Horse turns around, summoning Emperor in his hands.

"Who the hell are you?" A confused "Pol-Pol" looks at the cowboy, unsure of what to think about his approach. "Are you his bodyguard or something? I ain't afraid of your little pea-shooter!"

"Careful with your words there, friendo. Emperor aint just a regular gun. I can make these bullets hit straight through your head with my eyes closed." Hol Horse warns the ignorant frenchman.

"Emperor? So you're--" Polnareff is interrupted by Hol Horse's confident speaking.

"Hol Horse, J. Geil's number 2. I'll have you know the gun is mightier than the sword, so you better not pull anything funny here." He says as he aims the gun at Polnareff.

"That goes for your friend hiding in the corner as well." J. Geil says, noticing Jotaro hiding next to the thrash can. Jotaro tries to stand up to react to the murderer's talk only to find himself stuck in place.

"Wh-what?" He says, looking for any reflective surfaces, only to realize the stand right behind him after looking at the golden chains in his black coat. There, he was able to see a bandaged humanoid stand user pull out two knives from his wrists and playfully slash the high schooler across his body.

"Jotaro! Hold on!" Polnareff tries to walk to his friend, only to hear a loud gunshot, followed by a painful feeling on his kneecap.

"I told you not to move, idiot!" Hol Horse aims his Emperor to Polnareff's head.

"Oh, Polnareff. Always so impulsive..." J.Geil provokes Polnareff after seeing how close he is to his death. "Why did you even bother calling Jotaro? Was killing your little sister not enough so you had to bring someone to die with you due to your incompetence? So be it then, When you meet your cute little sister in hell, maybe you should ask her how exactly how i killed her, Ahahahahaha!"

"Crossfire Hurricane Special!" Avdol shouts as fire comes spurting out of the ground to where Hol Horse and J.Geil were standing, the flames itself having an ankh format, which quickly glued to both of them, temporarily distracting the two from killing both Jotao and Polnareff.

Star Platinum sees a blurt of light coming out from Jotaro's golden chains, to which he catches with both his hands. After double checking his necklace and seeing that Hanged Man wasnt there anymore, Jotaro quickly connected the dots.

"Good Grief. It seems J.Geil's stand is able to travel through reflective materials at will. Were they prepared, they would undoutebly have won this trade, but now they're as good as dead." Jotaro points out. "Normally i'd beat both of you down, but i dont want to rob Polnareff of this opportunity."

"Merci, Jotaro! I've been waiting years for this..." Polnareff thanks the delinquent, limping closer to the man with two right hands. "Would you mind repeating what you said about Sherry? I'll be glad to hear it while you're being turned into a fucking pincushion!"

Summoning Silver Chariot, Polnareff stabs J.Geil with his rapier like he was cutting through butter, the speed of his attacks arent lethal enough to kill him, but they're enough to make him scream in pain, to Polnareff's absolute delight. Finally, the Chariot lifts the right handed murderer up into the sky and decapitates him with one swift cut, killing him instantaneously.

"I'll leave the rest to the devil." Polnareff gives a thumbs up to his severed head, while turning his attention to the burning Hol Horse.

"Red Bind!" Avdol shouts, making the fire ankhs from magician's red turn into a fire rope, binding Hol Horse of his movements. "Magician's Red's fire is completely controled be me, so the heat is not enough to kill you. However, it should be able to keep you in place in order for us to get more information out of you."

"Good call." Jotaro compliments Avdol's decisions.

"I have to say, Avdol. You're pretty smart. At first i thought you were just a stuck up guy who wanted to order people around, but i'm glad i was proven wrong! Thanks for the save, too." Polnareff smiles proudly to the egyptian man.

"Tsk Tsk. Anytime, "Pol-Pol." Avdol teases the frenchman in return, playing with him instead of taking offense to his words while carrying the tangled cowboy with Magician's Red back to their inn.

"Really? You guys arent gonna keep calling me that, right?" Polnareff whines, following Avdol with Jotaro, who was chuckling with Avdol as they made their way home.
