Well, let's take a quick break in between battles with the brothers, yes? This should let us unwind a little.

Several hours earlier, Pucci had managed to reunite Ungalo with his two half-brothers. The three of them were surprised to learn that they were related, and that they apparently had a fourth brother. "I... Want to meet this fourth brother," Ungalo admitted. "I can arrange that," Pucci assured him, "He's in Naples, Italy right now, tending to his business enterprises." He didn't mention that said "business" was a mafia organization, but he doubted it would matter.

"By the way," said Rikiel, the second of the brothers and the son of Mariah, "I notice you have a birthmark like ours. Are you a family member too?" "No," Pucci admitted, "I got this when I fused with the remains of your father, who had Joestar blood at the time." He sized up the three brothers. 'Ungalo, sadly, got the worst of DIO's traits, vengeful and sadistic. I should set him against Jolyne and her crew first. Rikiel definitely brings to mind DIO's determination and drive.'

He looked to the last son, Donatello Versus, the son of Enya, DIO's favored consort. So favored DIO had promised to make her his queen, a promise he sadly would be unable to keep. 'Versus seems to have inherited DIO's personality and mindset... But without the loyalty that reminds me of my old friend. That, along with DIO's charisma and perception seems to have gone to Giorno. I suspect Versus might try to betray me in favor of claiming his father's legacy for himself.'

He smiled. 'Still, for now I can give them purpose. I have four more days until the next New Moon. These three can protect me and guide me until then. Like the three Wise Men who traveled to Bethlehem to meet with Jesus Christ as an infant.' "Father Pucci, before we start," Rikiel said, "Can you do something about my eyelid? It keeps drooping, and I can't seem to keep it open." Pucci rubbed his chin. It seemed likely that Rikiel's problem had something to do with his latent Stand. "Very well."

"Wow!," Emporio said, "This is where you live Jolyne!?" The sight of the Joestar mansion was wondrous to the young boy. "Yep, Joestar central as we call it," Jolyne replied, "By now my folks will have learned what happened." She pressed her thumb against a fingerprint scanner on the front gate. "WELCOME, JOLYNE KUJO," sounded an electronic voice. "Well, I haven't been disowned," Jolyne said, "That's a good sign." Anasui was a little nervous. After all, he wasn't expecting to meet Jotaro so soon.

However, the woman who answered the door was neither of Jolyne's parents. It was a young woman with violet hair. "Is this one of the maids?," Gwess asked. "Do I look like I'm dressed as a maid?," the woman said indignantly. "Take it easy, Rarity," Giorno said as he walked up to the door, "They haven't met us yet, after all." Jolyne blinked. "Hey, aren't you Giorno Giovanna? I remember my dad mentioning you." Giorno nodded. "Yes. And this is my wife Rarita, though most call her Rarity."

After introductions were made, Jotaro nodded. "I see. Cape Canaveral. So, at least we know what DIO was planning while in Egypt, and what Pucci's current plans are." "Are you saying you hunted DIO down without knowing if he was even doing anything evil?," Atroe asked in shock. "We had no time to research it," Jotaro explained, "Mom was getting sick because of a curse created by DIO's very existence." "What sort of curse?," Ermes asked.

"When he awakened The World via the Stand arrow," Fluttershy explained, "That allowed anyone descended from George Joestar II, who's body DIO was using, to also awaken their Stand. Joseph, George III, Josuke, Jotaro, and Holly." "Unfortunately," Jotaro said, "Mom's soul is too peaceful to have a fighting spirit and couldn't handle a Stand. And at the time, Josuke was too young and innocent. Mom never really grew out of it, but Josuke eventually toughened up enough to gain a fighting spirit, which allowed his Stand, Crazy Diamond, to awaken."

"The point is," Fluttershy said, "If DIO wasn't killed, the curse would have overwhelmed and killed Holly and Josuke. Well, we didn't know about Josuke at the time, but Holly alone was enough of a concern." Jotaro nodded. "Anyway, it sounds like we should head for Cape Canaveral. But we'll go in separate groups. Pucci's already sent one of DIO's sons after you. I've every reason to think he might send another." "Whatever happened to the first one?," Jolyne wondered.

"Some of my capos back in Naples found him catatonic on the plane when it landed," Giorno said, "They made sure to put him out of his misery. And apparently, his mother was also found dead." "At least the crazy antics that were happening earlier are explained," Fluttershy said with a sigh, "But it took a little longer for Pinocchio to return than the others." Anasui suddenly felt a little guilty.

Emporio got amazed again when he learned the group would be flying in a helicopter owned by the Joestar company. As the group piled in, Jotaro took Anasui aside. "Listen, I'm aware of your attraction to Jolyne. I also know your history." "Sir," Anasui said, "I assure you I trust Jolyne enough that she wouldn't cheat on anyone." Jotaro smiled. "Of course not. Her mother taught her better than that. And I'm not saying I really have a problem with a convicted killer dating my daughter, especially one who plead guilty."

He pointed at Anasui. "I was just going to warn you not to break her heart or do anything that might upset her. While she won't go as far as you did, she can be very vindictive when her heart gets broken. Her last boyfriend can attest to that." Anasui allowed himself a chuckle. He had heard all about what happened with Romeo. "Just keep in mind that I don't plan to get in the way," Jotaro assured Anasui, "Jolyne's old enough to make her own decisions." Anasui nodded. "Yes, Mister Kujo. And thank you." He joined the others on the helicopter.
