The Joestar Protector Book 2

Meeting The Chariot

   " So, this is Hong Kong? It's nice. " You said.

   " It is a very big city but when the sun shines through the buildings it is beautiful. " Kakyoin said.

   " Hey! Big guy! "

We all turned towards a man who was standing at a stand with food. 

   " Do you want some rice porridge? You can't come to Hong Kong and not try our rice porridge and dim sum. We have some hot cola too! "

Your stomach immediately growled thinking about food. Everyone looked at you and you looked away in embarrassment. 

   " I haven't eaten in a bit okay? Don't judge me. "

   " One rice bowl, the popular way with pork and a century egg. " Kakyoin said to the man. 

   " Hey! You guys think we have time to eat? We're going to my old favorite, you can stuff your faces there. " 

   " Hey, you dandy guy. Want to try some Hong Kong hot cola? "

   " Hot cola? That's blasphemy. Everyone knows it's supposed to be cold! "

( Time Skip )

Inside the restaurant, you were sitting on the floor mats waiting for the servers. While waiting you talked about the trip. You sat beside Jotaro as everyone talked.

   " It's become completely impossible for us to fly to Egypt. We'll cause a disaster if we go on to another commercial flight. We'll have to get to Egypt by either land or sea. We only have 50 days before..."

Joseph stopped talking and everyone's faces looked down at the table remembering Holly.

   ' 50 Days. That's all we have until Holly's stand kills her. '

Joseph pulled out a map and laid it on the table. One look at the map and the route was obvious.

   " Going by sea would be best. " I told them.

Everyone's eyes looked at me and I pointed to the map, starting with Hong Kong.

   " If we go around the Malay Peninsula, and cross the Indian Ocean, we can get there. I believe it was called..."

   " The Silk Road of the Sea. " Joseph finished for me.

   " Right. Going by land will be very difficult because of borders and we would have to cross the Himalayas along with what looks to be a desert. There are too many dangers, especially if we have to fight a stand user. We would only be wasting time. "

Everyone seemed to agree with me and I sat down in my seat. Joseph put the map away and I grabbed the menu to start looking at it. I set the menu down deciding that I would let Joseph pick mine. I just picked up my cup and drank my tea.

   " Excuse me, I hate to be a bother. I'm a tourist from France could you help me out? My Chinese is a bit rusty and I'm having a hard time with the characters on the menu. Could you help me decipher it? "

I looked behind myself and saw a man standing behind me with the strangest hair. He was wearing a tube top that was tightly stuck to his abs and it had a strap that went across his left shoulder. He wore half of a heart on each ear and his hair was stiff on top of his head.

   ' Okay wait a minute. Dire and Stroheim had the same hair. The colors were different because this new guy's hair is white, but it's still stiff and standing on its own. He's going to be an important person, isn't he? '

   " You're annoying. Go away. " Jotaro responded. 

   " Come now, Jotaro, It's fine. Try to be nice to the man. "

The man handed his menu to Joseph and he started looking through the menu.

   " Why don't you join us? "

The man thanked Joseph and took the empty seat beside me. Joseph opened the menu but closed it immediately. He started ordering random things off of the menu and the server left us.

   " And what would your name be, beautiful? " The silver-haired man asked leaning towards me. 

   " Umm Y/n. "

   " A beautiful and unique name for a beautiful and unique woman. "

   " Thanks. "

   " It seems you're not a woman of many words. "

   " You seem to be a man of many words. "

   " A perfect combination don't you think? "

   " Leave her alone. She doesn't want to talk. " Jotaro said glaring at the man beside me.

The waiter came back with clams, beef, and fish dishes. He set them in front of us and I only looked at the dishes with caution. 

   " I knew this would happen, damn it. " Jotaro whispered.

We all started digging into the food. It wasn't bad but it just looked different than what I usually eat. 

   " Well, they've certainly taken a lot of time to prepare this. It's almost artistic. Take these carrots for example. Cut into perfect little stars. In fact, it reminds me of something..." 

I felt my back stiffen and in my mind,  I was screaming that I knew it. 

   " I remember now. Someone I know has a mark, a birthmark, just like this on the back of their neck. Know anyone like that? "

   ' Is this what I get for wanting to eat? '

   " Are you another enemy? " Kakyoin asked.

He just smirked and placed the star carrot on his neck. The soup in front o fme started to boil and a sword stabbed through it. The silver hand holding it twisted the blade around and it was going to hit me. Gold Spirit appeared in front of me and blocked the sword with her own. Avdol flipped the table and everything spilled around us.

   " Magician's Red come forth! "

Madician's Red appeared and shot flames at the stand. Jotaro grabbed my shoulders and pulled me back and away from the scene. My back was pressed to his chest and his hands gripped my shoulders. Gold Spirit stayed beside me, with her sword still out. 

   " You were right, it's another stand user! " Avdol shouted as he watched his flames get pierced with the newcomers sword.

The sword flung the flames at a our turned over table and a clock appeared on the table, made of fire. 

   " My stand is the Chariot card and his name is Silver Chariot! Mohammad Avdol, it seems I will be disposing of you first. I've carved a burning clock into that table. Before that clock strikes twelve you will be a dead man. "

   " I knew he would be important. "

   " How did you know? " Jotaro asked me, as he looked down at me. 

   " His hair, the way it stand son its own. There's always a man in every generation that appears with hair like that. "

   " Is he a foe in every generation? "

   " No, actually. In the first generation he was a Hamon user who fought with us and in Joseph's time it was Major Von Stroheim, a German soldier and he helped us even when most of his body was made of metal. "

   " What? "

   " Don't ask, let's just say that German science is the best in the world and call it a day. "
