     Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your comments, I appreciate and love reading the funny comments everyone makes! I apologize for such a long delay, I will hopefully be getting back into the swing of things after this!

    As soon as the man uttered those words, blood began spurting heavily from the woman. She toppled from the carriage onto the ground. 

“Old Lady!” Polnareff yelled, looking over at her worriedly, but pausing when the Stand user spoke.

“My name is Dan.” he said, smirking slightly at the group, “Steely Dan. My Stand resembles The Lovers card.” his smirk widened, “I will see to it that you all meet the same fate as Enyaba.”

“How could you?” Polnareff yelled, pointing to Enyaba, “That old lady was one of you, wasn’t she?” He turned, rushing towards the woman, stopping short when the tentacles lashed out towards him. “Old lady!”

“Lies! It’s a lie!” she grunted out, her body trembling from the effort of speaking, “Lord Dio would never do this to me. 

“The thing coming out of the old lady’s body is not a Stand.” Kakyoin said. “They’re real, moving tentacles!”

Wait, not a stand? If it wasn’t a stand, what was it? 

“He would never do something like this to me.” the woman repeated, “He would never plant a flesh bud.

“Flesh bud?” Kakyoin asked, his eyes widening in horror. 

Wait.. wait, so that was the thing that Dio put inside you..? That was the thing he was using to control you? You felt nauseous, turning away and covering your mouth. You didn't want to get sick, not now… 

“Lord Dio is my reason to live. We trust each other.” said the woman, straining to speak around the tentacles.

“Old lady!” Polnareff yelled, before calling for his stand, slicing through the tentacles easily. As they dropped to the ground, the tentacles fell into a ray of sunlight shining between the buildings. They immediately began to shrivel, turning to dust before your eyes. 

“They melted from the sun's rays.” said Joseph, shock clear on his face, “The flesh bud is from Dio’s cells!” 

“Precisely, I’m surprised you were able to figure it out.” said Dan, leaning against the wall near where he was originally standing, watching the situation with a smug look on his face, “That is what the flesh bud, made from Dio’s cells, looks like when it’s grown. I just grew it inside of Enyaba.

When it’s grown? … so then… if the crusaders hadn’t removed the flesh bud from you, then that could have also… A wave of nausea washed over you. 

“Enyaba, I hear you were the one who told Lord Dio about the Stands.” Dan said, pointing his finger condescending, “But there is no way that Lord Dio would trust a little old woman like yourself.” He smirked down at the woman, “It seems you hadn’t realised that.” 

Th-This bastard… saying that to a dying woman.. It wasn't right!

Joseph knelt by the woman's side, gripping his hat in his hand, “Old Lady! Tell us the true identity of Dio’s stand!” He urged, looking down at the dying woman.

The man, Dan, looked surprised, but he didnt do anything to stop Joseph. 

“Tell us! You placed your hope and trust in Dio,” Joseph said, leaning forward, “and now you know he’s not the man you thought he was! I have to defeat Dio! Please, tell me!”

You slowly came over, kneeling on the other side of the woman, “Enyaba, Dio betrayed you, so please, tell us…!” 

“Tell me! Tell me about Dio’s stand!” Joseph raised his voice, frantically begging the woman. 

“Lord… Dio…” the woman struggled to speak, but her eyes slowly focused on you. “(Y/N)... return... to him…” she said, “He… awaits you…” 

You went pale, your face reflecting just how confused you felt. Return to him? Why would you do that? After he planted a flesh bud in you, and practically sent you to your death? Why would you return to him? You didn’t even remember anything about the time you were supposedly with him. 

The woman gave a shudder, her whole body trembling, “Lord Dio… Believes in me. I can’t tell you.” And with those final words, what final strength she had left Enyaba’s body, and she went limp against the ground. 

Joseph let out a cry of frustration, slamming his fist into the ground. “God Dammit!”

You heard laughter behind you, everyone turning to look at the same time. Steely Dan was sitting at a nearby cafe table, sipping from a coffee. 

“How sad.”
