Lots of setup for this chapter, to set the stage for future events.

Gwess tapped her chin for a bit. "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made." "Great, and now she's quoting scripture," Rainbow said, "What's the point of that now?" "I was just thinking," Gwess said, "This new power of mine should have a name, shouldn't it? I was thinking of something cute. Say... Goo Goo Dolls!"

"Why do Stand users always wind up with song references to name their Stands?," Jolyne asked, "Even Mom's Stand has the word 'music' in it. I've only heard of a few exceptions, like with some of the Stand users Grandpa dealt with." Gwess looked at Jolyne. "Hold on... How do you know what this power is called?" "Trust me, lady, I've had plenty of experience with Stands," Jolyne explained. She smirked as she shot a string out to the cell bars. "And I know more about them, too!"

She grabbed Rainbow and pulled the two of them out of the cell, much to Gwess' shock. "What now?," Rainbow asked. "Every Stand has a limited range," Jolyne noted, "At this size we can't move very fast, but my Stand can make up for that by letting us move farther. Hopefully her range doesn't extend to the entire prison." "That's all well and good," Rainbow said, "But where can we go? She can follow us to make up for that limited range."

"Not everywhere," Jolyne said, leading Rainbow through a door meant for prison personnel only. The gambit worked. Gwess had been able to follow them up until that point, but got stopped by a watchful guard who spotted her trying to look inside. 'Well, it's not how I planned things, but maybe I can get them to go along with my plans anyway. I'll just have to catch them at some other point later. After all, they can't stay there forever.' She smirked, thinking there was no way for them to escape her.

As Gwess walked away, Jolyne and Rainbow quickly left the guardroom and headed back into the hall, just as they started growing again. "You were right!," Rainbow said. "And I'm betting Gwess doesn't realize," Jolyne said, "Or she'd never have walked off. Her Stand's range must only be a few meters." They then heard something move behind them and looked. "Oh shit...," Jolyne muttered. Right behind them was a mechanical humanoid with a mouthful of teeth.

"Um...," Rainbow said, "What is that?" "Goo Goo Dolls' physical form, I'd say," Jolyne suggested, "It must have been near us while Gwess had us shrunk, but once we got far enough away it decided to attack more directly. I wonder if Gwess knew about this part at least." She turned to Rainbow. "You can clearly see it too despite lacking a Stand. So, if you do have a latent one, I think it'd be nice for the universe to unlock it now!" They quickly ran off, Goo Goo Dolls on their heels.

DeKurliss was looking through the newspapers to see what had become of the next phase of their plans. The idea was to contain the Joestar clan in various ways, which was no easy task given their abilities. He frowned when he saw a small article about Jolyne getting a mere five years for evidence tampering. He shook his head. "Nothing seems to want to go right with our plans... Still five years is enough time for Pucci to accomplish his mission. We can work around this." A young man with dark skin and white hair approached.

"Pucci," DeKurliss said, "Back from Italy so soon? What of Tomomi's child?" "It seems he is too content with life to join us," Pucci replied, "Giorno has become the leader of Italy's largest organized crime syndicate, and has used it to protect the people. There's too much of the Joestar legacy within him, I fear. Still, his concern is for his home, so I doubt he will interrupt us." "Just as well," DeKurliss said with a sigh, "DIO took one look at Giorno and said that he was destined for greatness. I think if DIO had lived long enough to see Giorno grow, he would have been a model father."

He got out his hand mirror and activated Beautiful Stranger. "Well, well. History repeats. Jolyne has met up with a descendant of the Speedwagon family. But how interesting. It seems Stand users are already starting to crop up in Green Dolphin Prison. A few more will not raise eyebrows, I think." Pucci smiled. "I already have a few agents of ours ready for our plans. I made a promise to DIO to carry on should he be defeated. However, there is still one thing we must be wary of."

DeKurliss nodded. "Jotaro Kujo. He proved DIO's equal. Time may have worn him down, but he is no less dangerous. Even without relying on his time stop ability, his Stand is fast and precise." "And he's only one cog in the machine," Pucci said, "There's Avdol, with his power of flame. Polnareff has his quick and deadly swordsmanship. Kakyoin can attack from a distance and control others. Fluttershy can overwhelm with her ability to grow plants of all kinds."

Pucci shook his head. "Getting to them might be tricky. My own Stand can deal with them individually, but our actions have gotten them to band together. They suspect a threat, which makes our plans difficult to pull off." He closed his eyes. "But I believe in the will of Heaven. Providence will find a way to let me succeed." DeKurliss gave a warm smile. "DIO put all his faith in you, Pucci. I know you will find a way to overcome this."

In his office at Valentine Motors, Valentine was considering recent events. 'In another world, this is where things ended. Actions taken during the events surrounding Green Dolphin Prison caused a brand new universe. But... I don't think that will happen here. Because... It had already happened. And that is important to note. No matter what happens, there is one thing wrong with DIO's formula. In this world... The Will of Heaven is the Law of Man.'
