Summary
Noriaki Kakyoin hopes that Mohammed Avdol's wound is not fatal, wanting to believe he's about to say something or get up. However, Avdol's body show no reaction. Jean Pierre Polnareff approaches Hol Horse, but is warned by Kakyoin that this was something Avdol was against. Even though he's reluctant, Polnareff agrees to get away with Kakyoin in a nearby truck, but he sees Hanged Man inside another mirror. The stand taunts Polnareff by telling him that he will soon join Avdol and Sherry in hell. While Polnareff is too busy breaking the mirror out of anger, Hol Horse shoots him with Emperor, but everyone is taken by surprise by Hierophant Green's Emerald Splash, directioned at Polnareff. Kakyoin attacked his ally to move him out of the way of their enemies's combined attack. Kakyoin jumps into the jeep, pulls Polnareff in and drives away, out of Emperor's range. J. Gail decides to go after the heroes. Polnareff tells Kakyoin he finally understood what Avdol was trying to tell him, and Kakyoin elbows him in the face in place of a handshake. He them tells Polnareff that now they are going to fight together.
