Uh oh, stinky (couldn't resist)

       Somewhere in Egypt....
   DIO was starring into the mirror, looking at his reflection. He turns around to a small, old lady.
"Enya, there's something I'd like to ask you, what does it mean to live?" Asked DIO, full of curiosity and question.
"To obtain what one desires. To put it simply, that is all it means to live. People want money, they want game, they want food, they want love, they want a lover... Hehe" cackled the small old lady while finishing her statement.
"But when they attempt to obtain what they desire, there is always a battle, is there not, Enya?" Asked the vampire, so very full of curiosity. "Indeed master DIO" responded the hag. "If they lose the battle and fail to obtain what they desire, they feel frustration and a sense of failure. They are hurt... And they feel fear when faced with the next battle." He said while walking up the staircase, griping the star birthmark from his dead brother's body. "I belive that conquering fear is what means to live. The only one who will stand at the top of the world is the one who feels no fear whatsoever. Do you understand, Enya?" DIO was truly curious, yet, he had somewhat a point.
"I was the one who told you about the existence of your stand and how to use it. And you have an immortal body. Is there anything you fear, master?" The old lady asked, where this conversation came from all of the sudden.
"Perhaps" 'they are getting more and more powerful allies...' thought DIO. "What concerns you?" "The Joestar bloodline and their new comrades." Responded the tall blonde fuck boy. Enya was confused, why would the man who might as well be the most powerful man alive be concerned by them? "Joestar? Those two and their friends? They are all trash. They are no match for your stand!" Exclaimed the short lady.
"Yes... But when the lives of those trash are so entangled and involved with my own, I cannot help but belive it is destiny. To be more specific... It is not the Joestar's that I fear it is the fact that I cannot underestimate the Joestar bloodline nor their allies. I feel that I must rid the Joestar's and their punny allies from my wheel of Fortune." He said, turning away from Enya.
"You thought to eliminate them yourself because you feel that they cannot be underestimated?"
"Yes."
"Foolishness! You should never engage with such foolishness! We already have seven Stand users- The Empress, The Hanged Man, Strength, The Wheel of Fortune, Temperance, The Emperor, and The Devil- on the move to kill them all. You need not worry about taking action yourself, Lord DIO!"

With the crusaders....

    "How the hell is a freighter out here! And why is it that it came where we came at the exact moment?" Caesar said, questioning himself. Ahe and Amaterasu held Anne close just in case if anything happened, Kakyoin and Jotaro prepared each other just in case and Polnareff and Abdul watched with amazement. "I didn't see it at all." Said one of the crew, how? Joseph looked at his grandson, he had a serious face on.
"Jotaro, what are you concerned about?"
"Do you think there might be another stand user here?" Asked Ahe who was now facing Jotaro.
"No, I was just wondering why no one's shown themselves, even though the ramp is down."
He responded, everyone then noticed he was right, Amaterasu got more tense due to this.

        Polnareff then jumped onto the ramp and faced the crew members and the crusaders.
"They came this far to rescue us! There has to be someone aboard! Even if they're all Stand users, I'm getting on this boat."
Declared Polnareff as he was walking up the stairs. "Don't be a fool Polnareff! Damn it!" Yelled Ahe as she went after Polnareff, the crusaders looked at each other and shrugged. The rest started to walk up, except Jotaro and Amaterasu, who were waiting for Anne to get off the small boat.
"Grab on. I'll help you up." Said Jotaro, extending his hand to her.
She looked at him and then stared at Amaterasu and jumped on her arms. "Woah! Gotta warn me before you do that!" Said Amaterasu before she booped Anne's nose.
Anne turned to look at Jotaro and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Yare yare..." He said under his breath as they were walking up.

       They joined the rest near a dangling hook, Amaterasu went towards Ahe and put Anne down, Jotaro went towards Kakyoin and admired his face under the bill of his hat. After looking at the hook for a few minutes, they headed upstairs and we're now in front of the captain's door and entered, it was empty, no soul what so ever present.
"W-What's Whit this boat?!" Said Joseph.
"There's no captain in the pilothouse!" Exclaimed Polnareff. "There's no operator in the radio room either..." Said Caesar, as he examined the pilothouse with his husband.
"There's no one here! And yet, look!" Said Joseph while walking to a compass.
"All the meters and machines seem to be working properly, odd." Said Caesar.
"Maybe they're all in the bathroom with a bad case of diarrhea!"
"That's gross Pol..." Told Ahe to Polpol after his comment.
"Hey! Isn't anyone around?" Yelled Joseph and Caesar mentally facepalms himself.
"Everyone, come over here!" Exclaimed Anne, everyone turned to her with a confused look.

     They walked into a room where an orangutan was caged in. "A monkey! There's a monkey inside that cage" Said Anne.
The orangutan starred at Anne, Amaterasu and Ahe, it was really uncomfortable. "An orangutan." Said Kakyoin, correcting Anne.
"Who the hell cares about a monkey?!" Said Joseph and Caesar just groaned due to how loud and dumb his husband was being.
"Let's split up and find whoever's been feeding it." Said Caesar, who went with the rest outside the door. Anne, Amaterasu, and Ahe were the last to leave, before they left, they glanced back at the ape. Who was starring at them, what seemed like curiosity, "Let's leave, I don't like how he's looking at us..." Said Amaterasu while making the other females leave.

       "Well?" Abdul asked one of the crew members who was looking at the machinery of the hook.
"It doesn't appear to be broken, but..."
One of the crew members replied.
As the rest of the crusaders walked out, Joseph noticed the hook moving on its own, red flags started to rise.
"Abdul! That sailors in danger!" Yelled Joseph but it was too late.
The hook swang and went through the sailor's head, Ahe covered Anne's eyes as the sailor's body was dangling from the hook.
"Good grief, A welcome like this is to much for girls..." Said Jotaro, and then Ahe have him a face of 'say that one more time, I dare you'.

     Blood dripped from the body as it was lifelessly hanging. "B-but no one was touching it..."
"I saw that crane move, even though there was no one operating it!"
"That crane impaled him on its own!"
Said sailor after sailor, Caesar and Joseph got in front of the rest of the crusaders.
"Be careful! There's someone here."
They said in unison.
"You don't bloody say!" Responded Ahe which made Amaterasu giggle a little in her mind.
"Hey! Don't touch any of the machinery. If it moves or runs on electricity, don't lay a finger on it! If you want to live, follow my orders. Don't leave the cabin down below until we say it's okay!" Yelled Joseph at the crew members who did as told and so did Anne- but Ahe and Amaterasu stopped her.
"Just stay with is, alright?"
"A-alright..."

       "Did anyone see even a glimpse of a Stand just now?" Asked Caesar, as he told all seven members (with him it's eight).
"No..."
"My apologies... I was the closest to the crane, yet I felt nothing."
"All right. I will have my Hierophant Green look around." Said Kakyoin as he summoned Hierophant and it began to search the freighter.
Ahe and Amaterasu walked over to Anne "Hey, how about we take a shower? The sea water really messed up our hair and clothes, what do you say?" Asked Amaterasu with a calm smile.
"Sure!"
Then the girls started to walk over to where the showers were supposed to be.

       As they were walking, they heard noises where the orangutan was, Amaterasu looked at Ahe.
"Anne, can you stay out here for a second? We need to check something, and remember, don't touch anything. Got it?" Ahe told Anne.
"O-okay" Anne responded.
Ahe and Amaterasu walked into the room and saw the orangutan shaking the bars, they got closer but stayed cautious. The orangutan then pointed to the lock "Not happening mate." Said Ahe, she knew he wanted them to unlock the cage.
He then showed them a freshly cut apple, they were shocked. Amaterasu then looked at Ahe and Ahe looked at Amaterasu. She checked she didn't drop any daggers earlier, she didn't.
They looked at the ape in shock as he lit a match on its own and lit a cigarette, where the bloody hell did that come from?!
"Amaterasu... I don't like this..."
"Neither do I..."
He then blew out the match and reached under a pair of clothes and took out a playboy magazine.
The girls gasped. "The fuck?! How those it have that?!" Yelled Ahe in shock. Then two sailor's came in and so did Anne to see what's going on where all this yelling came from.
"Hey! Be careful!" Yelled a sailor.
"They say orangutans have five times the strength of a human, so it could easily rip your arms." Another sailor said.
"We were heading to the showers, do you know where that may be?"
Said Amaterasu.
"Sure, we'll show you the way."
And then they left the room.

     Hierophant came back to its user "it's inconceivable. I've had Hierophant Green search everywhere, but I can't find any sign of life. We've searched every pipe and crevice, but to no avail." Said Kakyoin, then Jotaro put his hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay, we will find out soon enough." He said.

       The girls were walking down the hall until they found the showers.
They took of their clothing and put in the washer while they took a shower, Ahe was trying not to look at Amaterasu and Amaterasu tried not to look at Ahe.
They got into individual stalls and started up the water, it was nice and warm, Ahe used her stand to wash her hair and Amaterasu did the same thing but better.
They started humming ocean eyes, all together until Amaterasu sensed something, she quietly sent her stand out and sensed a large, furry object heading towards them.
"Ahe! Grab a towel and bring your stand out! Now!" Demanded Amaterasu as she grabbed a towel and summoned her stand full body and got out of the shower and stood in front of the ape.
It had a lustful look in it's eyes, it disgusted her.
Ahe then came out and made H.L. teleport behind strength, but somehow- pipes came out of the ships walls and pinned Ahe to the wall.
"Ahe!"
Amaterasu summoned her vines and made a purple flower release a fragrance, it made the orangutan somewhat sleeper, his speed decreased.
"

Anne! Go get someone! Anyone!" Yelled Ahe, Anne ran out but bumped into Jotaro, that was perfect timing.
He slammed a huge, sturdy lock at the orangutans head, drawing blood.
"About time ye got here!" Yelled Ahe who was still pinned against the wall.
The orangutan tried to get away but Jotaro stopped him.
"Here's your lock!"
He then proceeded to throw the lock at the orangutans head, throwing him away but just in time, the orangutan grabbed Jotaro's gakuran with a tight grip.
"This ape... Is no ordinary ape, could it be that he's a stand user?"
"You don't say!" Shouted Amaterasu from across the room who was trying to free Ahe from the pipes.
The orangutan tried to hit Jotaro with his leg but got countered by the arm of Star Platinum.
Suddenly- a fan flew from the ceiling and went towards Jotaro.
It got deflected by Amaterasu's S.G. who held it with its vines.
"Thanks, so I guess this proves my theory huh? But where is the stand? Why can't I see it?"
Jotaro questioned himself, Amaterasu was trying to put the fan on the ground but then it started to move on its own.
"W-what?! The steel fan bent on its own?!" Exclaimed Amaterasu as the fan moved on its own and cut some of the Vines, it made Amaterasu wince in pain.
"What is this?!" Questioned Ahe, she summoned Honey Lavender and tried to attack the orangutan but pipes held them back.
Star Platinum tried to punch the orangutan that was against the wall but he just vanished, as he were if thin air.
He then came through the wall which shocked everyone in the room.
'what's with this thing? The ape sank into the wall and disappeared!' thought Jotaro.
He then turned to the three girls who were confused as well.
"Oi. You guys saw that, didn't you? Anne, stay with Ahe while me and Amaterasu go to fight that monkey. Amaterasu, I can't have you walking around with a towel so just take my gakuran for the mean time."
"Understood!" They all said

     Jotaro gave Amaterasu the gakuran and she wore it and followed Jotaro.
'that ape vanished into the wall... But that orangutan has to be the stand user... When my vines grabbed the metallic fan, I felt stand energy coming through it. But why can't we see the stand?'
Amaterasu was deep in thought thinking about the whole situation.
'I just hope Kakyoin, Jiji and Caesar are okay up there'
thought Jotaro, he was really worried about them, especially the red head.
It then hit them, that there is only one explanation why they can't see the stand.
They are on the stand itself.

    Caesar, Joseph, Abdul, Polnareff and Kakyoin were sinking into the ship above.
"W-what is this?!" Yelled Caesar, he can see stands but doesn't poses one so it confused him why he couldn't sense a stand.
"C-crap!" Exclaimed Joseph, he was trying to get to his husband but couldn't.
"Th-This is..." Said Polnareff.
"Is this freighter... C-could it be possible the ship itself is..." Continued Joseph.
"So the Stand is the freighter!" Both Jotaro and Amaterasu yelled at the same time, when suddenly, pipes wrapped themselves around them and their stands.
The orangutan stuck his head out to laugh at the other two as if he had just won, and they were in glorious defeat.
"S-shit." Said Amaterasu as she struggled to get out of the pipes hold, neither could S.G. (who is now in humanoid form) could get out of their grasp.
"All of it! Everything! This ship itself is a gigantic Stand!" Exclaimed Caesar they sunk deeper and deeper into the the ship.
"The ship?!" Screamed Polnareff in disbelief to what he was hearing from own two ears.
"Do you really think there are Stands that people, like Anne and the crew members who aren't stand users can see Caeserino?!" Questioned Joseph in a loud voice, god those he hate that damned nickname.
"We would have to assume that it's because the energy of its presence is so enormous and powerful. But it must demand tremendous power to operate such a gigantic Stand! Kakyoin! Use Hierophant Green and contact the others!" Abdul exclaimed and explained the possibility, he was also confused but tried to make sense of it all.
"I-I can't! It's got a firm hold on my stand, making it unable to move!" Kakyoin tried to explain the best he could to the rest.
"So this is what it means to face certain doom. We were already hopelessly ensnared." Said Polnareff, he finally understood.
Kakyoin coughed up blood. The pressure is crushing him and his lungs.
"The pressure is getting greater... At this rate, our bodies will be torn apart. E-everyone will be..."
"Don't you dare stay the word" Said Caesar, after the rock incident, he hated the word crushed.
"W-we were careless..."

       The orangutan came back to Amaterasu and Jotaro wearing a captain's coat and cap, a smoking pipe and what seemed to be a dictionary.
He pointed to the word 'strength'.
"It means force, energy, power or aid, and it's also the eight card of the tarot... So that's your stands name huh?" Amaterasu said, she was basically a library of knowledge.
The orangutan started to play with a rubix cube which confused the two students.
Star Platnium was available to break one of the pipes but another one came and took its place.
'this ape already thinks it's won.' thought Jotaro, he understood he couldn't do anything at the moment just as the ape finished the rubix cube he was playing with and destroyed it.
The Ape looked at Amaterasu, and looked down the hall to see Ahe and Anne down the hall, he gave them a lustful look.
"I WILL BEAT YOUR HAIRY ASS IF YOU TOUCH HER!" yelled Ahe from down the hall.
Amaterasu grabbed the pin that was on Jotaro's gakuran and flicked itbat the ape who slowly turned around to look at them.
"That button's not part of your Stand."
Said Jotaro as the ape picked the button up from the floor.
"Hmp, you mad?"
"I guess it wounded your pride, since you thought you'd already won. No, it's not hurt... Because apes don't have any pride!" Exclaimed Jotaro, as the ape threw himself at him.
"Star Finger/Vine whip!" Yelled both Jotaro and Amaterasu, the star Finger knocked the button inside the ape's head and the Vines slapped him with force, even though they couldn't hear it, Ahe threw a dagger at the ape directly at the stomach.
The ape cried blood and fell to the floor in pain, the pipes destroyed themselves and released the three of them who then cornered the ape.

      The orangutan exposed his chest as they got closer.
"I heard that, when frightened, animals show their stomachs to signal they're giving up. Right Jotaro?" Asked Ahe at her friend.
"That's correct, so you're asking us to forgive you eh?" Responded Jotaro and questioned the ape.
He slowly nodded not wanting to die from some pissed of teenagers.
"But you've already broken the rules of being an animal." Said Amaterasu.
"So we don't think so" they all said in unison.
Jotaro ora'd his ass l, Ahe stabbed him over and over again and Amaterasu used seaweed from the ocean floor to hold the orangutan still like he did to them.
They had killed the animal, Anne ran to the girls as the ship started to shake.
"It's distorting... The whole ship is twisting up!" Said Anne, Ahe then grabbed her.
"Hey! Be surprised later, we need to change and get out of here!" Ahe said, Amaterasu have Jotaro his gakuran back and went with the others to get their clean clothes.

     Time skip...

    Everyone, except the crew who passed in the ship, were in a boat.
Ahe was close to Amaterasu to make sure nothing to her or Anne, Kakyoin and Jotaro sat by each other, Abdul and Polnareff were talking and Caesar and Joseph watched the freighter dissolve.
"So the stand was a dinky boat all along, unbelievable." Said Caesar.
"So that monkey used its own stand to get this far into the ocean. What terrifying power."
"We were completely overwhelmed, If Jotaro, Ahe, and Amaterasu hadn't figured it out, we would have been done for. But we are going to encounter even more stands with unknown powers from now on?" Said Joseph.
"What some gum?" Asked Polnareff.
"Please..." Replied Ahe who was really tired.
