==Summary==

After having rested for one hour, Kakyoin notices that the sandstorm has finally stopped. His comrades however are astonished by the incredible landscape that is now surrounding the train: hundreds and hundreds of mirages all around them, produced by the same Stand who had attacked them in the previous days. Trying to get off the train, the group realizes that the doors and window panes won't open and that Satanic Coupler is actually a Stand controlled by Absalom. The evil Stand user reveals that he just couldn't have left them dying in the desert; he wants to kill them all with his own hands and also wants them to suffer as much as possible before dying, apparently, because of their crime of being "part of the civilization."

 

 

Jotaro and Polnareff bounce off the train, but are capable of freeing only [[Iggy]], while the others are still trapped inside the locomotive. They escape in the streets of the mirage city created by the mirage Stand, but Satanic Coupler effectively tracks them down. Cornered, Iggy activates [[The Fool]] and uses it to attack the window pane of the driver's cabin from which Absalom is controlling his Stand. He is sitting next to his sister, [[Michal]], the wielder of the mirage creating Stand, [[Dark Mirage]]. Frightened by The Fool's attack, Michal withdraws her Stand, causing the mirage city to disappear. Iggy manages to temporarily deprive the enemies of their sight by covering Satanic Coupler's window pane with his sand. Jotaro, Polnareff and Iggy hide under Jotaro's uniform while Absalom leaves the battlefield, believing them to have flown away with the dog's Stand.

After the sunset, the three Stand users start to collapse from exhaustion. Before collapsing, Jotaro recognizes the upcoming landscape from {{W|The Little Prince}} novel he read as a child. As he dozes off, a young desert nomad, who Jotaro believes to be The Little Prince, comes across the Stand users. The boy goes to his village and brings the villagers to save them. The village chief gives them food and water and reveals that Absalom used to live in their village until four years ago. He then tells them Absalom's story. As a child, he used to believe that the civilized world was the promised land. He was particularly fond of trains and railways, his biggest obsession. Four years ago, while Absalom was visiting Cairo with his sister and his parents, the bus they were riding stopped on a grade crossing and was crushed by a train. His parents died, Absalom's legs were broken and Michal had her throat slashed by a steel splinter. The rescuers gave priority to the local residents and wealthy people, meaning that he and his sister were the last to receive assistance. As a result, Michal lost her voice and Absalom developed a strong hatred towards the civilized world. He later met a man called [[DIO]] in Cairo who persuaded him to become his servant after promising to heal his sister's wound and giving them both a Stand.

 

 

 

The two Stand users are defeated, but Absalom won't give up. As a last resort, he creates a miniaturized version of his Stand and uses it to enter Avdol's body, threatening to kill him. However, Kakyoin and Jotaro easily handle the situation by miniaturizing their own Stands and destroying Satanic Coupler in Avdol's body.
