Jolyne saw Rainbow observing the Green Baby. "Okay," she said to Anasui, "Now we have it trapped. But this is reinforced plastic, so how do we defeat it?" They had spent the last few minutes climbing dirt piles so huge compared to them they might as well have been mountain climbing, and getting pebbles that looked as huge as boulders being thrown at them. "Won't be a problem," Anasui assured her, "I've already sent Diver Down into the walls of the bottle."

Using his Stand, Anasui redirected the bottleneck over to where they were and away from Green Green Grass of Home, allowing them to escape while it was still trapped inside. Replacing the cap, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, spotting the Green Baby miming like it was trapped. Which is technically was, since its Stand was caught inside the bottle. "That should do it," Anasui said, "Maybe now we can find a way to kill that thing and get back to normal size."

However, the Stand shrunk down a little and started rolling away from them. "Oh shit!," Jolyne said, and the two of them got running. Luckily, they didn't have long to run before they got to Rainbow, who was still big enough compared to them to scoop them up, though Jolyne lost her jacket in the process. Just then, Jolyne felt a tiny finger on the back of her neck, and all three of them were suddenly back to normal size. Jolyne looked in surprise as the Green Baby crawled up her chest and over her shoulder, observing her birthmark.

"Well, at least it got interested enough in us to stop shrinking us," she said, "But it seems to recognize blood-kin." "That's part of our problem solved, at least," Anasui said, "But we still need to avoid those guard dogs, and likely any guards that are with them." "We should find a way to get back to Atroe and Wes," Rainbow suggested, "Yo-Yo Ma's death means they were successful in taking out the Stand user, but by now the punishment ward is likely to be swarming with guards."

Having Foo Fighters' memory disc temporarily removed from Atroe weakened her a bit. She had been relying on the disc to fully understand how to control Foo Fighters. Luckily, they were able to get to a water fountain, letting her replenish her water supply. Pucci grunted as he watched them race off into a mist. "I need to get my own vehicle somehow. Those two, somehow they got smuggled into the punishment ward. They are my only chance of finding Jolyne. Only the memory of someone of her blood... Joestar blood... Could possibly control it. That which was born from DIO's bone."

He held up the bone he had retrieved from the scene, still in the depths of the mass of plant material. He clenched his fist around it. It was the last gift from his old friend, entrusted to him once he proved his loyalty. "Luckily, I have that right here. I just need to get close enough. Then I will recite the phrases." He spotted one of the ATVs the guards brought with them and found the keys still inside. "It seems fate favors me," he said as he got on and started the engine.

As he rode off, he started counting off prime numbers again. Meanwhile, Wes spotted Pucci as he rode after them. "We can't let him find Jolyne. Weather Report!" His Stand created a mass rain storm with intense fog for good measure. "Good thinking," Ryusei said, "That's the ATV I came in on. And for the life of me I can't understand why I forgot to retrieve the keys. At least we threw him off. Why did he think a Stand could become alive?"

"Technically one did," Atroe explained, "It's all in the memory disc from the creature that was Foo Fighters. Somehow the Stand merged with the plankton it could control to create an entirely new species. Sadly that species died with the creature, but its memory survived thanks to me being able to control the Stand disc." Ryusei grinned. "So you must have Stand potential. Anyway, keep the fog going, Wes. By now the marsh will be crawling with guard dogs, which could be looking for the others."

As the trio observed the fog, the Green Baby bouncing on one of Rainbow's wings, they spotted the truck. "Get down," Anasui said. "No need," Jolyne said, "That guard is a friend. He was working with my father to try and get me out before Johngalli could kill me." Sure enough, the van caught sight of Rainbow's wings and drove over, Ryusei, Wes, and Atroe getting out. "It's about time," Anasui said, relieved, "So this fog was your doing, then."

"Yes," Wes replied, "And we found some important information about Pucci's plans. I don't fully understand it myself, but he seems be trying to achieve 'Heaven'." "Whatever the hell that means," Atroe said, "And I think that creature is part of it." "Then we should dispose of it," Anasui said, "It's not even human, not even supposed to exist. Especially if it can help Pucci with his plans." "Can we even do that?," Wes asked, "After all, it was born from the body of a vampire from what I understand, meaning it might be more resilient than normal."

"As long as we keep it away from Pucci, it shouldn't matter what we do with it," Ryusei suggested. He then spotted another guard arrive and grab the baby from Rainbow's wing. "Oh, sorry about this," he started to say, "Just a routine escort. We thought asking some of the other prisoners to investigate the punishment ward could get extra eyes on the situation." "I doubt your words," the guard said, and the others realized it was Pucci's voice coming out of his mouth, "But it matters not. I'm only here for this." To their shock, the guard morphed into Whitesnake.

"I could have simply attacked you here," Pucci said as he appeared, "But I noticed Rainbow's Stand was active. I suspect some aspect of it negates damage in some manner, and I have no time to investigate. I don't know what you did with my diary, but taking it from me won't matter. I already have all the pieces in place, and I have memorized the steps needed to accomplish my goal. Everything up until now has been my test, and now I am ready to take the final steps. That which is needed to elevate humanity to its highest potential."

Just then, he found himself cuffed, causing him to drop the child, which seemed unharmed from the incident. "If you think we're letting you get that child so easily," Jolyne said, the other side of the cuffs strapped to her arm, "You've got another thing coming." Pucci scoffed, using Whitesnake to break the cuffs, only to get a surprise when they morphed into needles that pierced his palm.

"I've had years to practice my Stand," Jolyne explained, "And in that time I've learned a lot of neat tricks with it. Dad's Stand is simple and straight-forward, so you've been practicing to deal with that. But my Stand is far more pliable." She grinned. "Right now I can guess what you're thinking. These cuffs are part of me, so that means you're able to touch me and use your Stand to try removing my Stand disc. But while you're doing that... Maybe you should stop and think of what I really have to do to prevent your plans." Pucci gasped and whirled his head around. The grass around them was being cut into triangular shapes.

I've been hearing people saying all the extra prep in the world won't stop Pucci from completing his goal. Well, you're right. I mean, the story wouldn't be interesting if it were that easy. But damn if they aren't making Pucci work for it.
