The Hamon users, the Vampires, the Pillar Men. Many years ago, these forces did battle against each other. However, what if there was another form of power, one that had the potential to dwarf all three. STANDS!
Raymond Baltimore is a Mercenary born...
My statement caused all members present to spin around and stare at me with a look of shock. Within seconds Polnareff called out "SILVER CHARIOT!" Causing his Stand to manifest and attack me, however I had my own Stand appear and counter the blow locking us in a clash.
Raising my hands in a surrender of sorts, I explained "Relax, I'm not here to kill any of you. If I wanted to do that, I would have hit you from a distance with one of my knives" This prompted Jotaro to ask. "Then what are you doing here?"
I sighed "I won't lie to you. I have been following, or attempting to follow you since we left Karachi. I needed to time to recover from my injuries thanks to 'someone' however you should know me enough by now to know I don't give up easily."
Kakyoin asked "So, what now? What do you want?" I shrugged "Well, it's dark and you seem to have the only fire in our vicinity aside from your burning plane. So, just for tonight, I'm willing to bury the hatchet as it were. What do you say?"
Well, this provoked Polnareff to burst out laughing. "HAHAHAHA! You expect us to believe you?! You've been trying to kill us since Singapore, you honestly think I'd fall asleep knowing you're nearby? What's to stop you from killing us in our sleep?!"
I gave a look of feigned hurt as I asked sarcastically "What? Do you really think that low of me? I'm a man of honour. As I said, what was to stop me from killing you all from afar before you even noticed me?" This made them go quiet for a moment before it was Joestar himself that sighed.
"Fine, you can stay. But if you try ANYTHING..." He trailed off and it was Jotaro who finished his sentence "I'll beat the crap out of you and make our last encounter look painless by comparison." I bowed and responded "The terms are fair. Thank you."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a strange noise sounding throughout the camp. It wasn't that I didn't recognize the noise, in fact I recognized it all too well, it was the fact that it was here that confused me.
The noises of a BABY?!

Turning to the source of the noise, I was surprised to sure enough, see a baby in a basket. The others had also been alerted to the baby's cries and Joestar said "Seems the baby's awake." He was about to go over however I put my hand up.
"No, allow me. I can handle this." Joestar raised an eyebrow, asking "Oh yeah? And what experience do you have looking after a child? Knowing you, you'll kill it or something like that." I just gave him a bored expression, responding in a way that surprised all the Crusaders.
"The experience that comes with actually HAVING a child."
This caused all except Jotaro to exclaim in unison "You're a father?!" For a moment, I ignored them, asking in a child-like voice. "Does the little man need changing? Hmm?" Sure enough, he did, luckily, the Joestar group had some supplies for this, so I handled that before saying "There you go, all done."
