SPOILERS
Background
Michal was raised in the deserts of Egypt and got along incredibly well with her family. She had a passion for mirages and would sometimes watch them with her brother, Absalom. she lost her parents in a train accident four years ago, as well as her ability to speak because of wounds suffered in her throat. She was rejoined with her brother thanks to DIO and both pledged loyalty to him, as he promised to create a world different from the desert and civilization.↗
The Train from the Desert to Hell City
She begins terrorizing the Joestar Group with Dark Mirage after they've been wandering the desert for the past three days. On their journey, an oil tanker, a fuel tank truck, and a medieval European castle fly over their heads. At night, besieged by a sandstorm, having no other choice, they board her brother's Satanic Coupler. The sandstorm stops an hour before arriving at the destination and is immediately replaced by a mirage, which manifests itself as countless pieces of the United States.↗
Michal, afraid, hands out food to Joseph, Kakyoin, and Avdol, who are still constrained by the Stand. Absalom proclaims his intention to keep them alive to make them see the painful deaths of Jotaro and Polnareff. Avdol ironically points out Michal's lack of enthusiasm regarding the upcoming events. Absalom, enraged, kicks Avdol's side, scaring the girl even more.↗
The next day, Absalom encounters Jotaro and Iggy in the desert. Jotaro separates the locomotive from the passenger car, while Absalom is distracted by his sand copy made by The Fool. Absalom screams in desperation and stops the train with a turnabout. In a flash, the passenger car turns into a pile of steel beams with Joseph, Avdol, and Kakyoin. Absalom and Michal are in shock. Absalom, pale and drenched in sweat, yells at Michal to use Dark Mirage.↗
Polnareff, back on the battlefield in the mirage-city, notices a trail of blood leading towards the entrance of the gatehouse. He follows it to the entrance of the gatehouse, where it stops. After realizing that it was actually paint, countless petroleum cisterns begin materializing and flying into the hall. They explode, spreading fire everywhere. As Polnareff attempts to escape, he becomes drenched in fuel and is subsequently set ablaze.↗
Michal is unconscious, while Absalom is spitting out blood. He reveals that he has sent a microscopic version of his Stand inside Avdol's body and that, if his psychic link with it ends, the boiler will explode. Jotaro shrinks Star Platinum and uses Star Finger to destroy the boiler. Suddenly the villagers appear, and, after witnessing the scene, the elder decides that the Joestar group are the subjects of a devil called Ababasubombo.↗↗
