With Enyaba in tow, and a new carriage to boot, Jojo, Y/N, and crew arrive in the coastal town of Karachi, Pakistan's industrial and financial center located in the Indus River delta.
Y/N: About time...
You ride in a carriage some horses pull along with you all inside as you ride into town
Joseph: Hey, a doner kebab joint! Let's stop and get something to eat.
Hol Horse: As long as you're paying
Polnareff: Who says we're buying you anything?
Hol Horse: If you want help taking DIO down... You're gonna need me, pal... And I'm feeling hungry
Polnareff: Tsk! Whatever
The doner kebab, it's been called the hamburger of the Middle East! A slab of meat is placed on a spit, its outer layer roasting as it turns. Before long, the meat is cooked, sliced, and served on bread. Try it, your taste buds will thank you!
Joseph: 'Scuse me, seven doner kebabs, please.
!?: That'll be a thousand yen.
Joseph: A thousand yen?
He says confused
In the Middle East, Japanese and Western business practices are by no means universal. Namely, prices change and are subject to negotiation. First-time visitors naive of the value of goods for sale can become easy targets for exploitation. But here, such exploitation is not frowned upon. The swindled are deserving of the label "fool," not "victim." Haggling takes guts and ingenuity!
Joseph: A thousand yen?
He says with more confidence
The first step is the art of the bluff. Make it clear you see through the trick.
He laughs at the man
Joseph: Don't mock me, now! That's far too much.
A hearty laugh always helps. Then...
!?: How much would you buy them for?
...the merchant will test the waters.
Joseph: Make it 250 yen for five!
In return, you throw out a price so low, you can't help but blush. And then...
!?: Are you serious? You've got to be kidding!
He'll act as if you have no sense at all...
!?: If I sold them for that cheap, my entire family would starve!
Then he'll gesture the old throat slash. But you can't give up the fight just yet.
Joseph: I guess I'll just buy them somewhere else.
Pretend that you're leaving...
!?: Okay, friend! I very much like foreigners. I'll sell you five for 700 yen.
...he'll try to stop you.
Joseph: Then make it 300!!
Let the haggling begin!
!?: Six hundred!
Joseph: Three hundred and fifty!
!?: Five hundred and fifty!
Joseph: Four hundred!
!?: Four hundred and fifty!
Both of them: Four hundred and twenty-five!
They both point at each other
Joseph: I'll take them! (All right! I got them for less than half his original price! Take that! I made out like a bandit!)
And just as you think you won...
!?: (I usually sell five for 150 yen!)
He says smiling
!?: Bye-bye, thank you, sir!
Joseph walks back toward the carriage as he notices Enyaba's eyes suddenly wide open and awake
Joseph: Hey! The old lady's awake.
Kakyoin: Eh?
Hol Horse: I told you to kill that bitch! Now we're all screwed!!
But she looks frightened by something, her attention is on someone else instead of you
Enyaba: But I've told them nothing! What are you doing here? You think I, Enyaba, would tell them the secret of Lord DIO's Stand?
Everyone: Huh?
The man who hustled Joseph reveals himself, with long dark hair and pink eyes, with an evil smirk, just then tentacles emerge from Enyaba's eyes and the rest of her body, destroying the carriage
Polnareff: Wh-What the hell are these tentacles?!
Enyaba: Why... Why have you come to kill me?
Steely Dan: Lord DIO places his trust in no one... I will make sure you never speak again. And you five... Plus the backstabber Hol Horse
Hol Horse: Actually it's not what you think! I'm playing both sides here... So no need to worry
Polnareff: Hol Horse!! You punk!!
Hol Horse: Hey!! I don't wanna die too!!
Y/N: Don't worry... His ability won't reach you, I've already taken steps to ensure that
Hol Horse: Uh thanks...
Steely Dan: You six will all be next!!
Blood erupts from Enyaba's body along with the tentacles
Polnareff: Grandma!
She falls onto the ground bleeding as tentacles erupt from her body
Joseph: What?
Steely Dan: You can call me Dan... Steely Dan, my Stand represents The Lovers card... I will see to it that you all meet the same fate as that pathetic Enyaba... Especially you Hol Horse
Polnareff: How could you?! That old lady was one of your own! Grandma!
He runs over to her as she gets killed by Dan
Enyaba: Lies... They're all lies... Lord DIO would never... do such a thing to me....
Kakyoin: Those things wriggling out of her aren't from a Stand! They're real! Those tentacles are real!
Enyaba: Lord DIO would never do me such harm... He'd never plant a flesh bud in me...
Kakyoin: Flesh bud?
Hol Horse: Whew, I'm glad I was in it for the money... Man, that looks painful
Enyaba: Lord DIO is my only reason for living... We trust each other wholeheartedly...
Polnareff: Grandma!
He cuts off some of the tentacles with Silver Chariot, they fall off still moving only to be disintegrated in the sun
Y/N: Did you See that? The rays of the sun disintegrated them! The flesh buds! They're made from DIO's cells!
Steely Dan: Precisely! I must say, you are quite the perceptive one... That's what a flesh bud made of DIO's cells looks like fully grown, I just grew it inside the old hag... Enyaba, you may have taught Lord Dio about Stands, but you're a fool to think he would ever trust a feeble old woman like you... Unfortunately, it's a point you failed to realize
Joestar gets on the ground next to the dying Enyaba
Joseph: Old lady! What's the true identity of DIO's Stand?! Tell us! You trusted and admired DIO, and now you know he's not the man you think he is! We must defeat DIO! You've got to tell us! We need to know! Tell us what we need to know about Dio's Stand!
Enyaba: Lord... Dio... He believes in me... I will never tell...
She dies right there
Joseph: OH, GOD!!!
But Steely Dan merely laughs at her demise
Steely Dan: So sad... Such an unfortunate old woman, but the very depth of her trust shows just how powerful Lord DIO's evil charm is...
He sits down sipping tea, while the six of you stand there angry, as Hol Horse sits on the back burner
Polnareff: Enyaba may forever be entwined with my sister's death, but she didn't deserve that... I'll see you join her!
Kakyoin: It'll be seven against one, but we won't hold back, prepare yourself.
Jotaro: On your feet...
He continues to finish his tea before setting it down
Jotaro: Hey, jackass! Stop acting so damned cool, this is going down, whether you want it or not
You walk behind JoJo with a glare on your face
Steely Dan: As you wish, but none of you will be able to lay a single finger on me, Steely Dan
Just then Star Platinum manifests hitting Steely Dan in the air, but in return Joseph also flys backward
Jotaro: What?!
Y/N: What happened, Joestar?!
Polnareff: He just flew back just like that guy!
The bloodied Steely Dan sits in broken glasses of a store
Steely Dan: You fool! I was about to explain my abilities... You almost killed your own grandfather with that blow
He stands up as the glass falls off
Steely Dan: Listen up, do you really think I would show my face here just to kill Enyaba?
Joseph: You damn bastard... You told us that your Stand is the Lovers, isn't that right? So, what the hell does it do?
Steely Dan: The battle has already begun, Mr. Joestar, you're all simpletons... Look all you want, but you won't see my Stand
He notices a kid sweeping up the ground
Steely Dan: Hey, half-pint! Want some cash? It's yours if you hit my leg with that broom
Joseph: But why would he...
Steely Dan: Now hit me!
Just then he hits Dan as Joseph screams in pain
Y/N: Huh?!
Kakyoin: What happened? Mr. Joestar?
Joseph: I-It hurts! I don't get it! My leg hurts so bad!
Steely Dan: You still haven't figured it out, Joseph Joestar? My Stand enters bodies! The moment Enyaba died, it clambered into your ear canal and entered your brain
Joseph: What?
Steely Dan: My Stand and I are connected! If my Stand gets hurt, then so do I... And the opposite holds true! If you so much as scratch me, deep inside your brain, my Stand will react to my pain and discomfort, and fly into a rage, and it will amplify that pain to the same bodily location, now I'll say it once more...You won't be able to lay a single finger on me! Plus the Lovers has taken one of Lord DIO's flesh bud into your body, it's growing in your brain as we speak... Just like it did to Enyaba, it'll eat you from the inside out!
The child laughs as he hits Dan again and Joseph cries in pain
Joseph: Ow!
Steely Dan: I don't recall asking you to strike me again, you Stupid little brat!
He slaps the kid across the face knocking him to the ground before he runs away
Steely Dan: Well, I must confess, my Stand, The Lovers, lacks physical strength, it can't move even a single strand of hair, making it the world's weakest Stand, but... You needn't be strong to kill someone, understand, gentlemen?
Steely Dan: Say something unfortunate happens, like I get into an accident, a baseball hits me, or I simply trip and fall, Mr. Joestar... You will feel my pain many times over
He says before cracking his knuckles
Joseph: I can feel your knuckles cracking in my hand!
Steely Dan: You've got ten minutes, then your brain will be eaten through, and you will die like Enyaba
In anger, JoJo grabs him by the collar ready to throw a punch as you and Kakyoin hold him back
Kakyoin: Jotaro, calm down! Don't do anything rash
Y/N: You'll hurt, Old Man Joestar!!
Jotaro: No, I'm gonna kill this tool so quickly, he won't have time to feel pain!
He looks at Joseph who has trouble breathing so he lets go of Dan
Steely Dan: Kill me before I feel it, huh... Sounds interesting, do it, then, Jotaro... Let's see what happens, what were you planning to destroy? Tell me, my face? Throat?
He looks angry at Dan as he mocks JoJo
Steely Dan: What? You angry? Come on and try it! Let's just see what happens! How about busting a hole in my chest? Or how about you give up on using your Stand, and crack my head open with a rock?
He walks toward a rock and picks it up
Steely Dan: This one looks like a prime specimen, sure looks big enough for the job
He picks it up before Jotaro grabs him again
Jotaro: You do not want to underestimate me, when I say I'm going to do something, I do it
You use Twilight Prowler to hold back Star Platinum from attacking Dan
Y/N: Calm down, JoJo... You're gonna get the old man killed!
Kakyoin: He's right, Jotaro! Don't do it! You already know what he can do!
Y/N: Are you trying to kill your own grandfather?
Polnareff: He just might do it...
You three hold back Jotaro from killing Dan
Steely Dan: Oh... You...
He smirks at him as Jotaro lets him go he decides to uppercut him in the stomach knocking him to the ground
Joseph: Jotaro!
Steely Dan: Don't toy with me, you bastard, after the geezer kicks the bucket, you're next!
He says raising the rock in the air and bringing it down as Jotaro tries to use an arm to shield the blow
Kakyoin: Look out!
JoJo falls onto the ground after the blow
Steely Dan: The Lovers will enter your brain and kill you!
Joseph: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Jotaro sits up angered as blood leaks from his mouth
Joseph: (This is just insane, my grandson is getting beaten so I can survive... We're completely at this guy's mercy, his Stand is inside my head... I remember how that poison ring was implanted around my aorta long ago... Come on, think, Joseph! There's gotta be something you can do!)
He suddenly looks back at you and Kakyoin, you two nod at him, as Dan looks confused, you three book it down the street leaving the others confused
Polnareff: O-Oi!! Wait up!!
Hol Horse: Hey don't leave me with him!!
Those two run after you three as Jotaro is left with Dan
Kakyoin: Jotaro! Keep him away from Mr. Joestar! We're going to get as far away from him as possible!
Steely Dan: Oh, I see... You think putting distance between me and the old man might make my Stand's power disappear? But my Stand's weakness is made up for in other ways... The Lovers may be physically weak, but from within its host, its range is farther than any Stand in existence... Even if it's hundreds of kilometers away
Jotaro stands back up as Dan grabs onto his collar
Steely Dan: Hey, Jotaro! I'm talking to you! It's impolite not to look at people when they're speaking to you, look at me!
He glances at him
Jotaro: You sound like you're starting to lose your cool
Steely Dan: What's your plan? Follow me around until Grandpa Joseph keels over?
Jotaro: Dan, was it? You know, I'm gonna make you pay for this
He laughs at JoJo
Steely Dan: Well, if you're going to follow me around, I might as well borrow a few more things...
He searches around inside JoJo's jacket looking around for anything worth taking
Steely Dan: Nothing but chump change, huh?Though I didn't expect a guy like you to be sporting a TAG Heuer...
He says holding his watch and money
Steely Dan: I'll be borrowing this
The rest of you sprint looking around for an electronics store
Y/N: There! Over there Kakyoin!!
Kakyoin: An electronics store! Mr. Joestar, they have TVs!
Polnareff: Yeah, so? Why does that matter now?
Hol Horse: Yeah what he said
Y/N: Come on, did you think we were just running away?
Polnareff: Huh?
Joseph: We're going to fight this blasted Stand that's inside my head
Hol Horse: Fight him? Are you crazy?
Polnareff: Yeah what Hol Horse said
Y/N: We have only a few minutes and we're gonna need your help
Polnareff: Huh?
Hol Horse: What?
Joestar puts his hands on the TV
Joseph: Hermit Purple!
The purple vines slowly enter through the TV as he changes the TV picture to his brain
Kakyoin: It's there!
Joseph: Oh, no! I can't believe I'm looking at the inside of my brain!
Polnareff: I-I get that there's a really small Stand inside Mr. Joestar... But how the hell are we going to destroy it?
Kakyoin: By having our Stands travel inside Mr. Joestar to locate and destroy it
Kakyoin: Wh-What?
Hol Horse: You're crazy if you think that's gonna work!!
Kakyoin: Stands are simply materializations of energy, we should be able to shrink them
Polnareff: Kakyoin!
Joseph: Hey, be gentle with me!
Y/N: I hope that's the first and only time I hear you say that
Kakyoin: There's no time, we have to go in now, Polnareff!
Y/N: It'll work, we just gotta be careful
While you're preoccupied with your plan Hol Horse slowly backs away before he decides to book it and laughs all the way
Polnareff: Hey!!
Hol Horse: Sorry, see ya guys! I'm not getting caught up in this mess!!
Kakyoin: Dammit! He's leaving
Polanreff: That bastard! I knew we couldn't trust him!!
Kakyoin: It's not like he can shrink his stand like ours, it's just a gun after all
Y/N: That's true... Eh, we don't have time to worry about him... Besides Hol is only a threat when he's got another teammate
Polanreff: What about Steely Dan?! He could team up with him!!
Y/N: He just killed Enyaba... What are the chances he'd help Hol Horse? Besides he even said he was gonna kill him first
Polnareff: Yeah that's true, better him than us
You get back focused now
Y/N: All Right, let's head in
You three manifest your Stands
Kakyoin: Hierophant Green!!
Polnareff: Silver Chariot!!
Y/N: Twilight Prowler!! Smaller!
All three of your Stands shrink down and enter through Joestar's ear
Kakyoin: Get smaller, we're going to be entering a blood vessel.
Y/N: Right, pay attention Polnareff
Polnareff: I always am!!
Kakyoin: He's right, we don't wanna hurt Joestar or this will all be for nothing
Polnareff: I know, I know!
Your Stand's enter deeper inside Joseph's brain, while Steely Dan continues to pester Jotaro,
Steely Dan: A drainage ditch... I'd try to jump it, but I could trip and twist my ankle by accident... And walking all the way to that bridge would be such a pain
He says looking down at the water before smirking at Jotaro
Steely Dan: Hey, Jotaro, lie down and make yourself into a bridge... I'll just walk on you to get across
JoJo remains silent though
Steely Dan: What? You don't want to be my bridge?
Jotaro: What the hell do you keep yammering about?
Steely Dan: I said, make yourself into a bridge! You good-for-nothing arrogant prick!
He says kicking a post in anger, meanwhile, Joseph cries in pain
Polnareff: What's the matter?!
Y/N: What's wrong?!
Kakyoin: Mr. Joestar!!
Joseph: M-My leg... It's going numb...
He falls to his knees pulling back Hermit Purple
Joseph: Dammit, Jotaro, what the hell are you doing?
Dan looks at Jotaro smugly after injuring Joseph
Steely Dan: Aww, don't look so upset, Jotaro?\
JoJo walks forward to the drainage ditch kneeling down in front of it
Steely Dan: Come on, I don't have all-day
He grits his teeth, before lying down on each side across the ditch just like a bridge
Steely Dan: Good
He smirks before stepping onto Jotaro, and standing there on him as he struggles to hold on
Steely Dan: You're a rather sturdy bridge, aren't you? Aren't you? Aren't you? Aren't you...
He says stomping down on JoJo, before crushing his hand with his shoe, as the others work tirelessly to save Joseph
Kakyoin: Mr. Joestar, it seems the enemy is here, hiding around the thalamus, the point where the nervous system begins
He points at the TV
Y/N: Us three will enter a blood vessel from inside your inner ear, then swim through the blood vessels toward your brain stem
Kakyoin: But first, Polnareff, open a slit in the wall of his blood vessel.
Joseph: Hey, hold on! You're using your Stands! Can't they just go through it instead?
Y/N: At this size it's unlikely... The blood vessel's wall is too thick
Kakyoin: But the hole will be microscopic in size, so bleeding won't be an issue... At our size, severing a blood vessel or nerve would take several minutes... Otherwise, the Lovers would've done it already, though, it may have already started...
Joseph looks scared as you begin to feel exhausted
Polnareff: Keeping our Stands this small is really exhausting... You need a lot of Stand power
Y/N: That's why I'm not breaking a sweat yet
Polnareff: Shut up... You're not stronger...
He says wiping sweat off his forehead
Polnareff: Here we go!
While inside his brain Silver Chariot slices through the blood vessel
Joseph: Oh, my God! I-I don't feel so well...
Your three Stands enter through the blood vessel, as Jotaro weakly kneels down after Steely Dan walked across him like a bridge
Steely Dan: You made a nice, bridge, Jotaro
He says laughing at him before walking away nonchalantly as Jotaro stands up while glaring at him
Steely Dan: Oh, hey, Jotaro, my back itches... Scratch it!
He relents and scratches Dan's back
Steely Dan: A little lower... Lower... Yeah, that's it, don't dig your nails in so much
Meanwhile while using Hermit Purple on the television Joseph feels as if someone is clawing at his back
Y/N: Uh Old Man?
Kakyoin: Mr. Joestar?
Polnareff: Oi, what's wrong?
Joseph: I-It feels like someone's tickling my back... I can't concentrate on my Stand like this!
He begins screaming and making a huge commotion around him, soon a group begins to form
Kakyoin: Wh-When did all these people show up?
Y/N: Uh take it down a notch Joestar, these people are starting to get the creeps
Polnareff: He's right people are staring! Everyone's gonna think you're nuts
Joseph: I-Im not yelling for the fun of it! Oh No!!!
!?: Poor man...
!?: Let's give him some change
Y/N: Huh? What's going on?
They begin throwing change near your feet
!?: It's not easy having an older relative like that
!?: You said it
You all look embarrassed
Polnareff: Kakyoin, go buy the TV, let's go out of this crowd
Y/N: I even agree with Pol on this one...
Kakyoin: R-Right...
He walks over to the shopkeeper
Kakyoin: Is this your store?
!?: Uh... Yes, it is...
Kakyoin: I'd like to buy that TV
Back with Jotaro and Dan
Steely Dan: (Unbelievable... Kakyoin's Hierophant, Y/N's Prowler, and Polnareff's Chariot shrunk themselves to a microscopic level and infiltrated Joestar's body, they intend to fight me? I can see them! They're traveling through the bloodstream and heading toward the brain stem to my Lovers)
He looks around
Steely Dan: (Hol Horse though he's not inside Joseph... Is he not helping them? Maybe he made a break for it? Then again could The Emperor shrink down like that? It doesn't matter, I gotta stop things now)
Back near you, the four of you run up some stairs while carrying the television
Kakyoin: Quickly! We don't have long before the flesh bud in Mr. Joestar's brain eats clean through!
He stands at the top of the steps
Kakyoin: Hurry, you three!
Finally, you set the TV down
Polnareff: There! All right!
Y/N: Do it, Old man Joestar!
Joestar kneels down in front of the TV
Joseph: Hermit Purple!
The purple vines enter inside the tv showing you the picture again of his brain, just as you three cut through the blood vessel and enter inside the brain stem where you all see hundreds of tentacles slithering around
Kakyoin: Th-These are... the flesh bud's tentacles!
Y/N: Looks like we finally made it to the brain stem, but the flesh buds have already taken over!
Polnareff: Damn it!
Cutting Joestar's brain bits it mushes with crab claws you see the golden-looking crab, the Lover's Stand screams at you
Polnareff: It's him! L-Look!
Y/N: And he's using those weird crab claws to knead Old Man Joestar's brain cells into some gooey mash that the flesh buds can feed on!
Kakyoin: We're gonna have to destroy him and tear out the flesh bud's roots quickly, or they'll completely devour his brain!
Polnareff: Okay! I'll skewer him to bits!
He says standing up with Chariot's blade pointed as the Lovers
Polnareff::You know on second thought... A finer cut should do the trick! Like grating a radish!
He throws a barrage of slashes toward the Lovers who blocks them with a crab like shell, before going on the offensive clawing at Chariot who blocks with his sword
Polnareff: No you don't!
The Lovers rushes at Chariot but he knees him in the face knocking him back
Polnareff: Nows our chance!
Chariot rushes toward Lover's slashing it in the face and knocking him down
Kakyoin: He did it!
Y/N: Careful, that was too quick
Polnareff: He's right, we're not quite finished! Gotta say that thing's pretty fast... But I've already figured him out, if that's all the little beast has, then he's no match for--
Kakyoin: Polnareff! Who are you talking to?
Polnareff: Huh?
Y/N: Careful, Polnareff!! There are duplicates!!
He turns around and sees another Hierophant Green across from him
Y/N: There are two Hierophant's
You two look back in forth between them
Kakyoin: That's not me you two are standing next to! And that's not a Stand you slashed! It's melting away!
The crab begins melting away slowly
Polnareff: Wh-What?!
Y/N: Look out!
In front of you, Hierophant melts down back into the crab, it impales Chariot in the stomach
Lovers: I'm The Lovers!
Outside of the brain, Polnareff coughs up blood
Joseph: Polnareff!!
Back inside you pull Chariot away from Lovers
Kakyoin: He disguised himself! He was wearing Mr. Joestar's brain! Somehow that thing used the kneaded brain cells to disguise himself as my Hierophant Green! All Polnareff destroyed was a decoy made of those brain cells!
Lovers: And you dummies completely fell for it!
It laughs as you all gasp shocked, meanwhile, Steely Dan cackles as Jotaro shines his shoes
Steely Dan: Come on! Pull your head out of your ass!
He says kicking Jotaro in the face
Steely Dan: Better shine these shoes right, Jotaro! I'm in a fantastic mood, you know! So until these shoes shine as bright as I feel, and I can see that bright sun on them, clear as day, I'm gonna need you to polish your little heart out... If you'd like, you're welcome to use your uniform... Actually, why don't you use your tongue?
He stands back up writing something down in a journal
Steely Dan: Hey! You bastard! What are you writing?
He says snatching away the journal
Jotaro: You're looking at your tab and you're gonna pay in full... I wrote it down, so I won't forget
He smirks at him before Dan backhanding Jotaro
Steely Dan: You're a scoundrel, Jotaro... Well, it doesn't matter, it'll all be meaningless in the end
Back in Joseph's head, the tentacles slither around
Polnareff: Woah, Kakyoin, look! Check out the decoy's head I just cut open!
It oozes into a golden liquid before splitting into two crabs
Joseph: Wh-What the hell's going on? He's splitting into two!
Before long there were already three crabs
Lovers: Listen up, to win in life, one must thoroughly know oneself! It's like Aesop's fable when the unassuming tortoise beats the hare, the tortoise outruns the hare because he knows his abilities better than anyone! Of course, the same applies to me... I know perfectly well I lack the power and speed to mortally wound either of you. But remember this! The spoils belong to those who admit their own weaknesses!!
Kakyoin: Emerald Splash!
He fires off a barrage of Emeralds toward the crab obliterating it's face off
Polnareff: Did it work?
The crab becomes liquid again before duplicating into three more as you all stare shocked
Y/N: More decoys are forming from the brain cells
Kakyoin: They're multiplying!
Y/N: But I thought only one person can have a Stand?
Kakyoin: That's right which means only one is real!
Y/N: Where the hell's the real one?
Lovers: Right here!!
He jumps out from behind stabbing Chariot in the back with his claws as blood gushes from Polnareff
Kakyoin: Emerald Splash!
His emeralds strike three of them obliterating them to slush as the real stand hides behind a tentacle
Lovers: Close but no cigar! I was standing right next to--
He shoots an Emerald splash at that one but it multiples
Y/N: Wait stop! It looks like the more decoys we hit, the more they multiply!
An army of crabs form in front of you three speaking together
All Lovers No, no... It's me... They're all me!
On the outside Polnareff groans from the pain
Joseph: Polnareff, that's enough! Withdraw your Stand now, I can't just watch you get hurt, even if you are trying to save me.
Polnareff: No way in hell! I can't stand the thought of giving up and watching you die like this!
Joseph: Withdraw your Stand! You'll be killed! Do as I say... It's over
Kakyoin: Don't give up, we fight to the end, Mister Joestar!
Y/N: We already started this and we're gonna finish it, old man
He nods, as you look at the TV
Kakyoin: I can't tell... They're all the same! Which is the real one? Which is the Stand? can't tell them apart!
Y/N: (Dammit, even my ability won't work on all of them)
Inside the brain, they all chant
Lovers: The world's weakest Stand is... The most... the most powerful of all!
You all stare in horror as they holler together like a cult, meanwhile as Dan pesters Jotaro inside a jewelry store
Steely Dan: Hey now, Jotaro, look! A beautiful gold bracelet, pretty impressive, eh? It'd make any girl fall head over heels
He says looking at it in the display case
Steely Dan: Jotaro, see that space there in the glass? Use your Stand to sneak through and steal it!
He glares forward while staying silent
Steely Dan: Steal it, what don't you understand? Get a move on! I mean... I don't mind breaking the glass and taking the bracelet myself... Then again, if I'm caught, I could be beaten to a bloody pulp. Old Joseph would surely die from the pain, hurry it up! While the salesman's looking the other way!
He uses Star Platinum's hand to lift the bracket from the case
Steely Dan: This guy's shoplifting!
Everyone in the store looks shocked as Jotaro glares at Dan
Jotaro: Son of a--
Steely Dan: Mister Salesman!
Salesman: Please, sir! Don't let him get away!
Steely Dan: Sure thing!
He laughs as the salesman runs over
Jotaro: You bastard...
A bunch muscular looking men approach Jotaro with the intent of fighting
!?: All right? Where's the thief?
!?: Who's the culprit?
!?: That guy, there?
!?: That Asian kid?
The bigger one crackles his knuckles before saying
!?: Ya know, back where I come from, when someone steals something we chop off their fingers!
He sweats as Dan smiles devilishly at JoJo
Steely Dan: Hey, Jotaro, you better not use your Stand against civilians
Just then he's struck in the back with a bat as the men all begin jumping and nesting down Jotaro
!?: Punk!
!?: Take this!
!?: Despicable!
!?: Dirty thief!
Steely Dan laughs as JoJo is beaten senseless, meanwhile, Dan steals some jewelry behind their backs, and the men throw Jotaro out of the store face first in the dirt
!?: Now get the hell out of our country!Good-for-nothing asshole!
!?: We'll let you off easy, you can keep your fingers for now!
They spit on him before walking away, leaving didn't the bloodied Jotaro, as Dan comes up laughing at his pain
Steely Dan: That was great! Nicely done, my friend! Thanks to the commotion you caused, I was able to get my hands on an even better piece!
He says holding up a golden bracelet as Jotaro begins laughing hysterically on the ground
Steely Dan: Jotaro! What the hell are you laughing at? What's so damn funny?
He chuckles bloodied up looking back at Dan with a smile
Jotaro: Nothing, I'm just a bit excited I was laughing 'cause your punishment just doubled! And I've been waiting for this moment! It's almost payback time, and it's really got me tingling
He kicks him in the back
Steely Dan: Why, you! It would seem we have something of a misunderstanding... Sorry, but your Old Man isn't long for this world, that's the reality you're facing!
Jotaro: How sad, you don't know us very well, do you? I see you don't know Kakyoin at all
Steely Dan: Come again?
Back with Joestar, Kakyoin talks to Lovers
Kakyoin: It seems to me you're obsessed with the notion of knowing oneself, it makes sense... I suppose I'm inclined to agree, to know oneself is an important lesson... But so is "know thy enemy." You should have done your homework, can't you see? My Hierophant...
Hierophant's roots are spread all along the brain next to each and every crap
Kakyoin: Has the power to stretch out its roots along the ground! So I can inspect every single one of you!
Lovers: How could I've not noticed something touching me?!
Y/N: Actually you never saw the roots coming literally... Prowler made sure of that with his ability
The one that screamed freaks out
Kakyoin: So you're the Stand! Emerald Splash!
He fires it making direct contact with Lovers
Joseph and Polnareff: We did it!
Just then Dan's head gushes with blood profusely
Jotaro: Well, well, well, well... Looks like Kakyoin got you pretty damn good, I'm wondering... Will I get my payback once he's done?
Dan screams as he's covered in blood, inside Joseph's brain he tries digging his way out with the claws
Y/N: He's realized he's out of his league now, and he's trying to flee into the artery!
Polnareff: He's trying to escape!
Kakyoin: He's trying to flee from Mr. Joestar's brain!
Joseph: Huh? Did you say he's leaving?
Polnareff: All right! That's great news, isn't it?
Y/N: For now we gotta get rid of this thing?
Kakyoin: Yes! Mister Joestar, hurry! The flesh bud!
Joseph: Right!
He infuses Hamon into his hands
Joseph: Overdrive!
Inside the brain, you all notice it disappear
Polnareff: The flesh bud's vanishing!
Joseph: Thank God
Polnareff: This whole experience sure has done a lot to bring us together, we can be buddy-buddy with Joestar now
Joseph: You're incorrigible, Polnareff... Hold on a minute, if that thing really trying to leave my brain
Polnareff: It'll go back to its Stand user, Steely Dan...
Y/N: The bastard is returning to its user!
Jotaro: This is bad! Jotaro has no way of knowing!
Back with them Steely Dan whimpers before backing away from Joestar
Jotaro: What's wrong? Why are you backing away from me? Aren't you going to tell me more about my grandfather's death?
He tries to sprint away as Jotaro grabs him by the hair
Jotaro: Hey... What's with the big hurry? Got somewhere to go? You're not actually trying to run away, are you? After all you've done...
He tears his hair off falling to the ground from JoJo
Steely Dan: Please, Jotaro, sir, forgive me! I admit it, you win! I'll change! I'll lie on the ground and lick your boots!
He hugs onto his feet afraid
Steely Dan: I know what I did was wrong! You can pummel me as much as you'd like! Hit me! Kick me! But please, don't kill me!
He says before licking his shoes but thinking
Steely Dan: (Soon, very soon, the Lovers will return to me! And this idiot, Jotaro, doesn't have a clue! This time it'll infiltrate your brain! Kakyoin is hundreds of meters away, just you wait! I'll make you suffer pain so horrible you'll wish you were never born! It's here!)
It flies toward Jotaro and near his ear
Steely Dan: (Now! Enter his ear!)
But just before it almost enters his ear Star Platinum sees Lovers and grabs it in a flash, slowly crushing it as Dan's bones bend
Jotaro: I figured you'd try something shitty like this, don't you know my Stand, Star Platinum, has superior eyesight and reflexes? Didn't you check up on us at all?
Steely Dan: I-I-I'm not planning anything! Not against your Stand's immense power
Jotaro: Did you just say "Your" Stand? Just "your"?
Steely Dan: No! I meant your awesome and powerful Stand is far superior to any other! I knew I didn't stand a chance, so I had it come back! Please look! You've already shattered my arm and leg to pieces! I can't possibly fight anymore! I can't even move!
He crushes the Lovers more in Platinum's fingertips
Jotaro: Yeah... All the crap you did to me, I guess an arm and leg should make up for it... Do you swear you'll never show your face to us again?
Steely Dan: I swear! I'll head for some deserted island! I'll go to the ends of the earth and never return to bother you!
Jotaro: You'd better not be lying, the next time I see that face, it'll get a thousand punches.
Steely Dan: I'm not lying! I'd never ever lie to you!
He lets go of the Lover's as someone else watches from afar
Jotaro: Get lost...
He walks away as Dan groans in anger, but just then a couple of kids run out in the street
!?: Let's play soccer over there!
!?: But then I can't play!
Dan kneels up and pulls out a switchblade
Steely Dan: Jotaro! You're an utter fool! Just take a look at that girl! My Stand, The Lovers, just went into that girl's ear... Now he's heading for her brain, you'd better not move, Jotaro! I'm going to stab you in the back with this Knife, and make sure you never move again! attack me with your Star Platinum, and this girl's pathetic life ends right here and now! You'd never allow such an innocent child to die, would you?
Behind a building Hol Horse watches this go down
Hol Horse: Man, that's even low for me... Better high tail it outta here before I get caught in the crossfire
Dan stands up walking to Jotaro with the knife in hand
Jotaro: Oh, good grief... Go ahead and stab me, then
He says turning around toward Dan
Steely Dan: Hey! Didn't you hear me? I said don't move! Don't...
But Dan freezes in his steps
Steely Dan: (What? Huh?)
Jotaro: What's the matter? Didn't you say something about stabbing me? Like this, right?
He says grabbing his hand and pushing the knife into Dan's cheek as he screams
Steely Dan: M-My body won't move! Why?!
Inside the girl's ear is Hierophant's tentacles wrapped around the Lovers
Steely Dan: What's this thing wrapped around me?
Jotaro: I see you didn't notice, Kakyoin tied Hierophant's tentacles around the leg of your fleeing Stand... They stretch all the way back to him like a kite string. Guess you were too self-absorbed to realize it or maybe that was Y/N's Stand again
Steely Dan: Please forgive me!
Jotaro: Ask for forgiveness from Enyaba, the woman you killed... I never had the slightest intention of forgiving you
Steely Dan: DIO paid me to do this! You can have it all!
Jotaro: Good grief... You really are a piece of work, what you owe me, can never be paid back with money!
But Dan smiles again like a devil as he finally notices Hol Horse behind them
Steely Dan: Now!! Do it, Hol Horse!! Shoot!!
Hol Horse stands a few feet behind Jotaro with his Stand drawn out
Steely Dan: Shoot him now!! Kill Jotaro!!
Hol Horse: (Ugh, dammit! He ruined my surprise!! And to think he almost beat this guy)
Jotaro turns around staring at Hol Horse blankly as Lovers undoes his Stand
Hol Horse: Wait!! Stop right there Jotaro!! Let me think!!
Jotaro: You're in this for the money, right?
Hol Horse: Huh!! Shut up!!
Jotaro: DIO will probably kill you after this... Just like he had Steely Dan kill Enyaba, if you don't wanna end up like Enyaba I suggest you leave
Hol Horse: But? I... I'm screwed either way
Steely Dan: Don't listen to him you dumbass!! Just shoot him!!! KILL HIM NOW!!! OR I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET IT!!!
Now Hol Horse looks at him angry
Hol Horse: Hurt me? Thanks for making my choice easy!! Bastard! I'm not ending up like the hag!!
He puts his gun down as Jotaro nods
Hol Horse: Look out!!
Dan tries to put his Stand inside Jotaro's head while he's occupied on Hol Horse until Hol Horse aims the Emperor at Dan
Steely Dan: Nooo!!!
He fires it off shooting Steely Dan in the head, blood spews out profusely
Jotaro: Hmph, not bad... But your debt still hasn't been paid off
He says walking over to Dan as blood leaks from his head
Jotaro: If you're not dead yet... You have a debt to pay off
Steely Dan: Ugh... Jota-!! W-Wait!!
Star Platinum manifests before throwing one deadly barrage of fists at Dan knocking him into the air
Jotaro: Ora Ora Ora, Ora Ora Ora!!!
Dan crashes into a building leaving a hole in the wall, as JoJo writes down a receipt in his journal and throws it to Dan
Jotaro: Your receipt... Keep the freakin' change
Hol Horse: (Man, this guy is almost as scary as DIO... Oh shit DIO!!! He's gonna kill me now)
He sweats just thinking of DIO
Hol Horse: Oh shoot, what now?!
Jotaro walks away while Hol Horse stands there confused
Jotaro: What are you doing?
He looks up at Hol Horse
Hol Horse: Huh??
Jotaro: Let's go... DIO's after you, right? You have a better chance with us now...
He looks surprised at first but follows on
Hol Horse: Yeah! Sure thing!
Back near you and Joestar, the gang meets up
Polnareff: Huh? What's he doing back here?! That bastard ditched us!!!
Hol Horse: I just saved him!!
Polnareff: You ran away!!
You get in between them
Y/N: Just calm down, Polnareff
Polnareff: But he's totally ditched us!! And got Avdol killed!!
Y/N: Didn't he also help you against Enyaba?
Polnareff: I guess...
Hol Horse: Yeah I did!! I even took out Steely Dan!!
Polnareff: No way!! It was us and Jotaro!!
Jotaro: Actually he did shoot him...
Polnareff: What!? Whatever
He looks pissed off but walks away from Hol
Hol Horse: He's just mad my gun is better than his puny sword
Y/N: Yeah, he's stubborn for sure... You'll fit right in alongside him
Kakyoin: Come on, let's head out
You all begin to head out of town before turning to Hol Horse
Y/N: So you decided to stay, after all, Hol?
Hol Horse: Yeah, for now... I don't wanna get caught in DIO's crossfire that's all
Y/N: Yeah, sure...
