Dio Brando (thought) I crushed his arm bones to splinters and he's already ablaze, but his grip on me is still that of a vice! (Out loud) So be it JoJo! Consign us onto the flame! But, perish knowing that I will survive this moment! For everything you have done, even this inferno cannot devour me!!
FATHEEEEEER! LEND ME YOUR POWER!
[Through luck, Jonathan managed to propel himself out of his burning home while impaling Dio on the statue of Venus as he is horrifically burned alive.]
AAAAHHHHHHH!!! (monologue) HOW COULD A WORM LIKE YOU-!? I-I forgot who I was dealing with! Bloody his nose, and he comes back twice as fierce! (out loud) JOJO!! (monologue) I have such plans for this world!! Such...plans...!!
It's late at night, but there's a lamp coming from his room. (Looks inside) This is- That woman... I'm surprised a nurse would stay with him so late! Her hands are bruised! She's soothed his burns with ice water hundreds, no, thousands of times!
(Jonathan wakes up.)
The worst is over. You'll be okay now.
Have you... Been taking care of me this whole time? You... I can't believe you're here! I remember... No, you can't be... That's impossible... You look like a girl I used to know...
Nurse: Her name wouldn't be by chance Erina Pendleton, would it? It has been a long time, Jonathan Joestar.... JoJo.
Me? Not as much as you. But... (gets teary) It really has been so long...
[Speedwagon takes his leave]
She makes a better Florence Nightingale than I do, anyhow. You rest up, JoJo. Speedwagon withdraws coolly.
Jack the Ripper (killing a harlot he lured to murder): Shoulda made an early night about it, harlot! Big mistake!
Most men's hearts are restrained by mortal, recoiling in fear from the fabulous fruits of evil. But some do not constrain themselves to the mortality and its tyranny. They are the Vanguard. Serve me, Jack the Ripper. Submit yourself to me, and I shall give powers beyond your belief. I ask for only one thing in return.
He's been watching us for a while now.
Signor Joestar, I presume? And the lass by your side must be Signora Erina Pendleton.
You survived the Stone Mask! Not many can claim that!
[He hits Jonathan in the stomach, causing him to kneel over.]
That's it... Breathe out every last ounce of air in your lungs!
Why? He was wounded already, you cad!
stranger: I knocked the wind out of him, but he'll thank me for it.
Jonathan (while his body full heals): What!? What's happening to my body!? My arm!
Baron Zeppeli, at your service. Courage alone will not defeat the stone mask.
The compound fracture in my arm... it barely hurts anymore! I can even lift this heavy rock!
What did you do!? Who... No, what are you!?
One question at a time, JoJo. It's nothing I did. Your breath quelled your pain on its own. Achoo!
Why did you do this!? How do you even know my- (Zepelli is no where to be seen) He's gone.
What part of "one question at a time" eluded you? Follow me, amigo, and I shall show you. But know this, what you are about to see will change your destiny forever!
Dio (killing a girl for her blood): With each meal, a bit of my strength returns... What a simple thing, the food chain. As pigs feed on grass, so does man feed upon them. And I, at the top of it all, feed upon the humans. They exist to serve me and quell my thirst. (crushes the dead woman's skull) Go, Jack, it’s supper time.
(The zombified Jack eats the girl's corpse)
Now to swell the ranks of my diabolical army and send it hence. I will stand astride this world! Humanity will kneel at Dio Brando’s feet!
Keep an eye out! Sunlight can't protect us in here!
[Speedwagon screams seeing the cabman dead with a severed horse head on his shoulders.]
Is it Dio? It has to be him.
Listen, both of you. Step away from the horses.
[Jack emerges from the body of one of the headless horses]
What in the blue hell?! That crazy blighter's inside a horse! Good God! This one's mad as a hatter! Dio's evil, yeah, but I ain't seen him jump out of any animal so far!
He must be gathering minions, and who knows how many he might have!
Stand aside, my young friends. I'll do the fighting. He is a zombie. They must feed on living flesh to survive. However, they are in constant thrall to their master, not unlike marionettes.
Oh, you lads is both as white as a sheet. All the blood is drained from your faces. Maybe I should cut off those useless heads of yours, and watch it spray out of you necks? (stabs a knife into his face) Now, you milted corpses-to-be, prepare for the carnage!
Tell me, what's his next move? You must think as he does. JoJo, this strategy will serve you in good stead. Ask yourself, what would be the most advantageous thing for my foe to do next? Him, for example. If he blocks off the tunnel's entrance, we can't retreat into the sunlight!
(Jack grabs the carriage)
Just as I predicted, he's blocked our retreat!
[Jack forces knives out from his body.]
Knives are coming out of him!
Baron Zeppeli, you didn't say nothin' about fighting a pincushion!
Hamon Cutter! I'm afraid your blades are rather dull compared by Hamon Cutter.
JoJo, this creature illustrates a principle. Imagine a miniscule flea, so small that it’s barely visible. Why is it they bite humans who tower over them without a single thought to their own safety? Would you call their behavior “courageous”? Of course not, it’s hunger compelling them.
[Jack charges Zepelli]
I will tell you what courage is, JoJo! Courage is to look your fear in the eye and know that it has no dominion over you! Fear scatters your breathing. When you toss your fear into the dust, breathing is the sword ever at your hip! Breathe with courage and you will never want for Hamon. Bravery is our birthright, lads! And for all the abilities they may bring into a battle, courage is something a zombie relinquished when he took this form! THEY’RE NO BETTER THAN FLEAS! SENDO WAVE KIIIIIIICK!!!
[Damages Jack's face]
A knee to the face seems to made our friend here lose his braggadocio.
I found you, zombie! Stone wall will not protect you! SENDO HAMON...OVERDRIVE! (channels his Hamon through the wall)
Turn the corner so I can feast on you! (Gets hit by Hamon, knocking him back as his body dissolves)
It seems you've passed the test with flying colors, JoJo. Boreas has fathered another Viking!
Uh, well, Speedwagon has been begging me to share in your power. I meant to help him create just a little bit of Hamon as I did that first day with you. It seems I was too rough. Did my finger slip? Un migliaio di scuse (A thousand excuses), my dear Speedwagon.
Speedwagon (groaning): In English, please
[Chasing after Poco.]
That sounded wonderful, JoJo. I see you've learned the Overdrive well.
So I should stand here, right?
No, try two paces to the left. Two pounds say I'm right.
Huh? What just shocked me!?
[The boy is grabbed by Jonathan]
Something's wrong with this boy. Did I overdo it with my Hamon?
No, It's not just him. Look around us.
[Zombies grab their legs]
Seems like we're the "nice catch" here. The boy must have been hypnotized.
The sun has set... You will not live to see another!
