The Menacing Crusade

4. Aiden Pierre

(Tip:- if you have forgotten what a stand is, a stand is a figure that appears behind a stand user which owns the stand and fights for it. Every stand has a special ability and only stand users can see their and other stands)

"W-where am I?", Aiden stuttered with a blurry vision laying on Sazke's guest bed.

Sazke strolled around the room as Aiden looked at him curiously, "Wh...who are-" Aiden stopped speaking when his vision turned clear. He could notice the familiar face. "S...Sazke...", he stammered as Sazke approached towards him.

He looked into Sazke's eyes as he saw the same responsibility and affection his father had towards him. He saw the same hidden suffering he saw in his late father.

"F...father", he admired Sazke. His looks were filled with determination and ambition. From that day onwards, Sazke became Aiden's new father.

Aiden's real father always used to tell him that everyone needs an advisor, a guide for themselves which could show them the path that they should take in life where they would achieve success and happiness. Aiden saw Sazke as his guide through life.

Going back in time...
Aiden Pierre, was born after a huge tragedy. In 1988, in the suburbs of Egypt there was a stand user named Dio Brando. His history was more tragic than Aiden's. He was waiting for his sworn rival, Jotaro Kujo, another stand user, to reach Egypt and battle his stand.

Meanwhile he was waiting, he had a carnal affair with many women. His minions used to bring him different women everyday for him. One day, he was provided with a women with an Indian descent. Her name was Archana.

He wanted to make sure that the woman wouldn't conceive, so he called his minion and his minion cursed the woman with misfortune so she couldn't conceive.

Archana was Dio's last girl he had an affair with before he passed away after losing the battle against his enemy, Jotaro Kujo.

Archana was a financially weak woman, who required money to fulfill her daily needs. She was in Egypt as she had some opportunity in making money there.

What Dio wasn't aware of was that Archana was a stand user herself. She used her unique stand abilities to bring the baby in her womb back to life as it was her dream to be a mother.

But since one of Dio's minion had cursed her womb with misfortune, her baby took 14 years to grow until it finally came out of her womb in 2002. This baby of her's was Aiden Pierre. She named the baby Sameer Kumar.

After Sameer was born, Archana finally decided to move to India with her baby. Upon reaching India, she told her mother her whole story of the baby being born. Her mother was startled and ordered Archana to abandon the child immediately. She was insecure with the baby's apparent misfortune and was unsettled by the fact that the baby's biological father is dead.

Archana still insisted on keeping her child but her mother intimidated by threatening to kill herself. Archana had no choice but to reluctantly give the child away to an adoption center. After a couple of years, Archana passed away being affected with cancer.

The poor young boy, his only parent had to disown him and passed away. He was only 3 years old when a Christian family decided to adopt him. They were the Pierre's.

He was bought up and raised in the Pierre family, where he was given the name Aiden Pierre, and for the first time in a while, he was blessed with superficial fortune, unaware of the fact that it was fate which struck him in this situation, which had bought him into India and in this family. A little did he know about the storm that was nearing his life.

He went to USIS school, the same school as Sazke Hiroshikage. There he met Sazke and soon they became friends when he was 9 and Sazke was 8 years old. As time passed, Sazke and Aiden grew closer until they both became best friends and shared every incident with each other.

He had a little brother and an elder sister in his family which he adored, but misfortune struck and his elder sister was murdered in a crime tradegy and his little brother passed away by a genetic disorder. He felt guilty and distressed feeling his misfortune caused the death of his siblings. He secretly started drinking at a young age of 13 to ease his suffering.

His parents always used to console him, telling him that it wasn't his fault but he kept on denying. He shed tears every night before sleeping and tried suicide 25 times. His parents were worried about him and so was Sazke. For him, they were the only reason for his existence and motivation to live.

It was the year 2013. Aiden was 11 years old when he finally discovered his stand ability. He became aware that he was a stand user. Since Dio Brando was his biological father, Aiden gained stand abilities quite similar to his.

His stand's primary ability was to repel people away, based on his curse of misfortune. He named his stand "The Repellant" based on it's repelling ability.

He used his stand only for genuine causes such as saving people from robberies and catching criminals. He had found an aim in life. He wanted to eliminate all the wickedness in his city. Him having a stand caused a new pathway to be formed in his life.

All of a sudden, he started to become more happier and was praised for his bravery for catching criminals, even while he was cursed with misfortune, yet he managed to punish 56 criminals using his stand.

But then adversity struck again and Aiden's parents died in a car accident. That was it for him. He didn't wanted to exist. He planned to drink for the last time and kill himself once and for all.

Luckily Sazke found Aiden and carried him under his wing. Aiden mysteriously woke up in Sazke's house as Sazke decided to adopt him.

"Your mother and father are no more...", sighed Sazke turning towards Aiden as he gaped at Sazke. "But now... I have decided to adopt you and raise you...", said Sazke as he bent down and gazed at Aiden, who was sitting idle on the bed, not moving a muscle. Aiden was still not over the fact, that his parents, whom he loved so much, were no more.

He could've killed himself if he wanted to, but after looking at Sazke, he saw hope. He sensed justice and wisdom in his nature and he was inspired to keep on living.

Sazke was about to rest on the bed when his mom called out, "Sazke! Dinner's ready! And Aiden... You too!"

Sazke looked at Aiden and Aiden looked back at Sazke slightly smiling at each other and both walked out of the bedroom.
