## A Wonderful Vacation on the Jambo Islands, Part 2

Continuing a few hours from last time, Jeremy and Melissa had finished “strategizing” with one another and went to formulate an actual plan alongside Zachary and John. The plan was to have Zachary replicate the arrowhead using his Stand, so that they could use the replica as bait for the arrival of Niente. After doing so, they heard a knock on the door, seeing the receptionist of the resort hotel. He told the group of a local legend, a place named “Feeder Mountain”. The man said that the mountain was the site of stories long forgotten to time, stories of people called “feeders”, and it is also the site of a legendary artifact. He also told the group about how the royal arrowheads have been removed from each island one by one, and that the Jambo Islands would soon have the same thing occur. Jeremy asked the man what would happen if all the arrowheads were removed, for him to respond that a reformation of the land and sea occurs in the middle of the islands. Before leaving the room, he handed Jeremy a map to aid him for when he decided to explore the mountain. As the group were planning their next course of action, including creating a drawing of Niente, the whole island rumbled. In the distance the saw a fuming mountain, presumably Feeder Mountain, and they rushed to it at once.

As they ran towards the mountain, Jeremy saw an arrowhead flying towards the mountain above the group. When the group made it to the mountain, they saw an opening at the bottom of it, going through to find a path going straight down. Down the path, they encountered an ancient ruin, and a door with an arrowhead shaped lock. Melissa used the arrowhead on her to open the door, finding a hallway full of turtle statues, turtles that looked like the one Zachary saw prior to being sucked inside the Turtle World. Jeremy and Melissa noticed faded murals on the walls, depicting the former boss of Passione Stand,  King Crimson. Down another hallway, the group saw inscriptions on the walls titled “THE GOOD FEEDER”, “THE BAD FEEDER”, and “THE NEW FEEDER” respectively. After reading each of the inscriptions, Jeremy understood that the “Bad Feeder” referred to the former boss of Passione, and that the “New Feeder” talked Giorno, Piero and Fugo’s boss. The group then saw the “New Feeder” inscription open a new path, with Melissa’s arrowhead pointing in it’s direction and so the group pressed forward.

The group made it to an empty altar, with Jeremy realizing that something needed to be placed on it. Getting the arrowhead from Melissa, he placed it on top of the altar, which opened a new door. Zachary swiftly grabbed the arrowhead from the altar as the others ran through the door. The four of them arrived at a pedestal, with an arrowhead sticking out from the center of it. Jeremy went to grab the arrow, and just as it was within his grasp, it disappeared in a blinding flash of light after hearing someone yell「Mercury」. It was then with completely black eyes, white pupils, and mantle-less Niente revealed himself, with the arrowhead in his grasp.

He vanished as soon as DDR hit him with an arrow, leaving the group to quickly prepare for him with Zachary preparing a graffiti wall and John setting an underground trap. Zachary would be the first to get attacked by Niente as he slashed at Zach’s back while Zach jerked forward. Jeremy and Zach would attack Niente as he was unable to teleport out of the room. John would whip Niente with some underground thorns, before the man disappeared, reappearing to counterattack only to be stopped by Melissa. Jeremy would go to attack Niente with his pillar-arm, before Niente suddenly had a card in his hand, summoning Cherry Polnareff to be hit alongside him. Zachary graffiti-springed Cherry to him, finding her unconscious and with a sewn mouth. Niente would be heavily injured further from John and Melissa’s incredibly charged shield, and Jeremy delivered a massive blow to his chest, causing Niente to vanish once more. The group took the time to remove the stitches closing Cherry’s mouth and heal her with Hamon. However, they were interrupted by Niente’s return, wielding the arrowhead in his hand he stabbed himself only to vomit out blood. Jeremy took the chance to use the arrowhead Zach had on him, changing his Stand and illuminating the room in a golden light.

## On the Stairway to Heaven, Part 3

Dio, Kira, Piero, and Voz prepared themselves against the arms, which began to retreat towards the water tower, leaving the wire covered street. Dio, Piero, and Voz ran after the arms, while Kira suggested that they destroy the water tower outright, breaking part of the road to use as a bomb. Piero was the first to reach the top, seeing in person the green liquid coming out from the water tower. Voz arrived and melted a hole open for Kira, allowing her to explode the structure from within and spilling the green liquid all over. However, Kira heard a sound from behind her, the sound of “rerorerorero”, as green tentacles constricted her body and a green & white, humanoid figure with tentacles and a hole at it’s chest revealed itself. As Piero and Voz tried to aid Kira, they noticed that Dio was staring intensely at the creature, before yelling at him back to reality. Voz leaped to over aid Kira on the ground as Kira blew it back several meters with a bomb, but Kira was still restricted by some extended tentacles. Piero then sent his bird to airstrike the creature, further blowing back the creature, which continued it’s hold on Kira. She would be released thanks to a strange occurrence with the creature’s slimy body, when the slime turned into acid as Voz walked towards the creature, allowing Kira to burn away the remaining tentacles. The group reflected on how the place was slowly changing them, recognizing Kira’s earlier incident with her eyes and now Voz’s acid replacing the slime on the creature.

The weakened creature began to fire volleys of emeralds at Voz, before trying to constrict him by the neck as it’s head was being crushed. Piero was able to slice the tentacles off of Voz’s neck. This led to a clash between the creature’s massive volley of emeralds and Piero’s rapier, deflecting the emeralds away and back at the creature, sending it flying into a building, where it began to leak out crystal-clear water in massive quantities. As Piero and Voz checked on the figure, Voz saw for a split second the body of a bloodied, red haired man, as well as a flashing yellow arm through the person’s chest. The water levels began to rise exponentially, before a tidal wave of water washed over the group, rendering everything black. Piero found himself in an office building with the word “SPEEDWAGON” written from the outside. Inside the office, he met a man who had encountered Dio before, warning Piero that he must kill Dio as he is manipulative and pure evil. Piero insisted that the Dio he knew was good, and had helped him save the lives of others, leaving the man no choice but to hope that Piero’s judgement was better than his, giving him his name: Jotaro Kujo.

Elsewhere, Voz found himself floating in the air, viewing the red haired man face off against Dio Brando, who blew the red haired man away with a hole to their chest. Going to check on the figure, Voz was met with a hail of knives. Voz suddenly found himself unknowingly in front of an ambulance with the word “SPEEDWAGON” on the side, although the metallic cart was foreign to him. Inside the van, he found the corpse of the red haired man in a body bag, with a couple crying beside the body. As the metallic wagon moved, Voz saw that he was in complete darkness, finding a depressed black haired man. The man muttered about how he was unworthy, something was not his fault, then saying he’ll avenge someone, before the whole area vanished as the man’s hair changed from blue, red, green, brown, yellow.

Meanwhile, Kira witnessed a man kneeling before a door, a man named Vanilla Ice. She overheard the sound of splashing from the inside of the room, before hearing a horrible sound, a force bursting through the door, seeing Dio inside of the room on a bed. From behind her, Kira saw a monstrous figure consuming it’s own legs, before it simply touched Kira, causing her to feel nothing. Kira found herself watching Egyptian man climbing a flight of stairs, walking towards a beautiful figure, Dio. The man and Kira ran away as Dio’s hair rose up like tendrils, trying to inject themselves into the two. After they ran into a safe spot, he warned Kira that Dio was dangerous.

The group then all found themselves looking at a staircase in their respective areas, ascending to the Heavens. The three proceeded to climb up the stairs, watching as a white horse moved in front of them, and a voice saying “Devirra sah nevaeh rof emit eht.” They then found themselves back together at the bottom of a snowy hill, except for Dio. They all spoke about their experiences, and about Dio, before deciding to move up the hill. At the top they saw a beautiful mansion, climbing over a gate to it with a ladder. As they approached the mansion, they were attacked by a man wearing a stone mask, wielding a sharp rimmed hat.

## Operation Stahl Blitz Laufen, Part 1

Ellis and Benjamin continued their fight against the cybernetic man, where Ellis was on the ground and trying to regain his ability to move after the cyborg had vibrated his skull. Ben proceeded to grab his head, slamming him into the vibratory wall and rupturing more of his exterior metal. The man then confirmed his suspicion that the woman he was fighting was actually Benjamin, projecting a multi-colored beam which sickened Ben. He revealed a piece Benjamin’s own wishing star to her, telling how it crashed in Naples some time ago, tossing it at Ben who proceeded to pick it up and have a seizure. By this point, Ellis had gotten back on his feet, proceeding to shatter the remains of the man’s head armor. Ben recovered, although felt weaker, realising her Stand was at 20% power. Nevertheless, she proceeded to beat the weakened cybernetic man’s head into his own wall, crushing it and causing the man’s detached limbs to fall to the ground. It was then the workshop’s computer monitors suddenly turned on, showing Ellis and Ben a map of the United States. As Ellis went to view the information, Ben took the time to ask Singola whether or not she had a Stand, who responded only with complete silence.

Meanwhile Ellis viewed the map of the US. There was also a specific path on the map, going through the waypoints of “Mission Beach, San Diego, CA”, the “Arizona Desert”, “Kansas City”,  and “Trinity Church, Manhattan, NY.” Ellis then proceeded to tap on the Mission Beach waypoint, showing him the title “Operation Stahl Blitz Laufen.” It also showed blueprints of cybernetic suits, a list of names which included Lambrusco, and a design of Lambrusco with cybernetic augmentations. Ellis believed the place to be a cyborg creation center, before seeing a document from a person named Stefan Stahl. He also saw an image of a subway train, called the “TEARY EXPRESS” with the numbers 0666. After, Ellis inspected the Kansas City waypoint, seeing a ballroom and metallic skeletons. In the Trinity Church waypoint, he saw a glimpse of a vault, and a stairwell next to it. Lastly, in the Arizona Desert Ellis saw what looked like a bunker hatch, surrounded by robotic spiders. Before stopping his inspection, he scrolled right of the US, seeing a long line connecting to Rome, Italy. Afterwards, the whole room began to rumble, as if it were going down, prompting everyone to escape. They went back to the elevator, which began to descend instead of going up at rapid speeds. Just as they were about to leave it, they saw a subway train marked “TEARY EXPRESS.” Ben promptly entered the code 0666, opening the train doors.

Ben and Lambrusco searched one side of the train while Ellis and Singola went to inspect another car. On Ben and Lambrusco’s end, the two inspected a strange box...
