The thing I noticed about Yo-Yo Ma is, if you can keep your guard up, you have a chance to avoid getting killed by him. And if you have a method to avoid getting killed by him, well then...

Let's ruin D an G's day, shall we?

"Is this what Pucci was expecting?," Rainbow asked, "We never did learn if there's more to Limp Bizkit than what we observed from Sports Maxx." Jolyne moved forward to pick the creature up. "Jolyne, what are you doing!?," Anasui asked. "I'm already affected by this thing," Jolyne explained, "So I'm the only one who can retrieve it safely." She rushed to grab the fetus-like fruit, then quickly returned to where the shade was. "Now what?," Atroe asked, "The sunlight is acting like a barrier between us and the exit."

Anasui then spotted someone dash into a nearby cell and went to investigate. Inside he spotted a rather cowardly man, trembling with one of his ankles slit and bleeding. "Please...," the man said, "Please help me... I've been seeing some weird things... Those odd trees, and the people drowning... I'm terrified... Please, take me with you!" Anasui raised an eyebrow. The trees were easy to write off, but there was little to indicate that the prisoners had been drowned. True, he could have overheard Kenzo's explanation, but the explanation was incomplete and needed context.

'Not to mention,' he thought, 'It's odd that someone is still getting terrified when the aggression-increasing Stand is still likely active. Even we were affected.' He ultimately shrugged. "Fine. What's your name?" "G-Guccio...," the man said. Nearby, D an G observed the bizarre scene. 'No one told me about this. My job was simply to kill Jolyne Kujo. But she somehow smuggled in backup, and then there's all this weirdness with that green child. Still, no reason to back out now.'

He waited in hiding, but only saw Guccio walk over. 'Wait... Did Jolyne and the others already escape? No, that's impossible. They'd have to use the roof windows, so there's no way I wouldn't see them.' He placed a hand on Guccio's shoulder. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Nearby, the others were checking out the punishment ward. "If only Mom was here," Jolyne said, "She's have been able to tell if that guy was a real enemy or not." "Personally I couldn't care less either way," Anasui admitted, "I'm not interested in the safety of any prisoner outside our group."

Jolyne crossed her arms. "So if we were in the middle of a crowded city?" "Then I'd definitely be holding back a little, yes," Anasui replied, "But as it is, I'm not concerned about the lives of anyone who found their way here, except the five of us." Nearby, Guccio was acting strange and convulsing as D an G tried to get a straight answer out of him about the others. He got a big surprise when Guccio's ribs suddenly burst out of his back and pierced D an G's arm.

As D an G sobbed about his mutilated arm, Guccio kept walking in spite of his body getting warped so his skeleton was on the outside and his arms were in the wrong position. He had been turned into a living trap by Anasui's Diver Down. As Guccio walked off, the electrical discs that made up Survivor's physical form could be seen. "I was just told to make everyone fight," Guccio said, "But I never expected this. That priest never told us much of anything regarding his plan."

The group had managed to find a safe route out using Diver Down to phase through one of the walls. "From this position I should be able to fly back to the main prison unseen," Rainbow said. "We'll take this swamp skiff," Jolyne said as she got near the vehicle. Anasui looked it over. "If we can find out how to start it." A short green humanoid appeared and grabbed a nearby lever. "Use the throttle lever. It's normally set to the neutral position before turning the ignition."

Rainbow raised an eyebrow as the strange creature continued to instruct Anasui on how to operate the skiff, and ever offered to get them food and drink. 'There's something off about this creature. It's clearly a Stand, and likely the fourth and final one Pucci is sending against us. So why is it helping us? This is a bit more direct than what Dragon's Dream was doing.' The sun was starting to set in the west, which was to their backs. By the time nightfall started to set in, Jolyne's body would likely return to normal.

Wes and Atroe stayed behind, knowing that Pucci was likely to show up. By now prison security would catch on to the fact that a disturbance was happening. The place had no cameras, so as long as no extra prisoners were spotted it would be no issue. The real issue would be that Pucci would likely arrive with the guards, and would attempt to collect the green baby. As for the Stand, Yo-Yo Ma, it had appeared suddenly and swallowed the green baby.

Yo-Yo Ma was quickly surmised to be D an G's Stand, but all efforts to break it open and retrieve the fetus proved futile, as Yo-Yo Ma was just too durable. What was really odd was that, instead of trying to retaliate, it just apologized over and over and offered to be helpful. It even explained what was going on with its user at the time. It had directed them to the swamp skiff and showed Rainbow the best flight path to avoid the guards' line of sight.

However, they were no fools. There had to be a catch to all this. D an G was obviously an enemy, so Atroe and Wes stayed behind to find and kill him before Yo-Yo Ma could do anything. Wes watched as several small insects dropped to the ground, victims of Weather Report. "So that's his game," Wes realized, "They'll be fine while Rainbow is flying over them. Her Stand will make it so that the insects can't land. But if you let your guard down at the wrong time..."

The skiff had stopped when Anasui heard the sounds of other skiffs piloted by guards heading for the punishment ward. Rainbow was sitting on a low branch, her head hidden by the leaves to prevent her rainbow-colored hair from standing out. "Rainbow," Anasui said, "How effective is your flight field at negating automatic fire?" "It doesn't 'negate' it so much as redirect it," Rainbow clarified, "But I've never really tried it against this sort of firepower. You gotta remember I only awakened my Stand at the top of my sentence."

As the guards rode over in response to a ripple in the water, Yo-Yo Ma quickly helped them camouflage themselves, while Jolyne used Stone Free to remove the anchor rope. The guards looked around but didn't see the group, deciding what they saw was a gator or large fish. 'Emergency order to all patrolling the marsh area,' came an alert over the radio, 'All troops head back to the punishment ward! I repeat, all troops return to the punishment ward!'

"Sounds serious," the driver said, "What do you think happened?" "I dunno," the other guard said, "But we'd better do what the order said." They started the engine, Rainbow's flight field preventing the sudden current from blowing their disguise. Once they were out of sight, Anasui noticed that Yo-Yo Ma seemed apprehensive. "What's the problem? Your plan worked, after all. Well, thanks to Rainbow. If not for her Stand, which creates an environment that prevents situations that can interfere with flight, the skiff's propeller would have blown all the vegetation off, compromising us."

Yo-Yo Ma was grumbling. Several times the three of them had lowered their guard, yet none of them seemed affected by his corrosive spit, or the mosquitoes he used to transmit it. But Anasui's remark about Rainbow's Stand made it all clear. Her very presence was making it difficult. Yo-Yo Ma's purpose was to act like a servant to whoever his user wanted to target, then kill them with his corrosive spit when they lowered their guard. If they caught on, his high durability prevented them from destroying him. He then realized something. The other two were back at the punishment ward, and Rainbow had her flight field on since before they left.

Atroe and Wes had managed to sneak into an upper window, where the guards were looking over the odd scene of the large tree that had grown from the prisoners. From the way they were talking, they didn't realize what had happened to them or the two guards. D an G was unconscious nearby, in shock from ripping his arm off. One of the guards looked in their direction and Wes got apprehensive, but Atroe calmed him down when she realized it was just Ryusei.

Wes created a mist cover using Weather Report so they could secretly meet away from the other guards. "So what happened over here?," Ryusei asked. "Where to even begin?," Atroe said, "For starters, I'm pretty sure most of the prisoners are dead. They somehow grew into that tree." Ryusei looked shocked. "A Stand power?" "I don't think so," Wes replied, "This is some other phenomenon altogether. Is Pucci here?" "He's here alright," Ryusei said, "And he has a vested interest in Prisoner ME14067, D an G, the guy you saw with the missing arm."

"What was he in for?," Atroe asked. "He believed in the prophecy of Nostradamus, who claimed the world would end in 2000," Ryusei said, "So he went around shooting a bunch of people at the start of the new millennium." Wes nodded. "The Second Impact incident. Some analysts believe it could have destroyed the world given the right circumstances, but by chance those circumstances never occurred." "I think we need to swap information," Ryusei said as he got out a diary, "I managed to nab this from Pucci when he wasn't looking. It seems important. Especially since it was penned by DIO..."
