"Rome? Wait, why?", Alice asked, looking a bit confused at Bucciarati. He squinted at the older woman a moment before he said, "We need to retrieve a very valuable item. Now, get your things together", before leaving the room. Both Trish and Her got their things together before heading out and joined up with the gang. They all traveled to Rome and Alice fell asleep on the trip.

a flash of silver. the red string. An amber stone shattering. An arrow with a strange aura to it. out from the shadows came a strange being that reached out to her. it was a dark, sludge grey, almost black, but shaped like a suit of armor. she felt her breath leaving her body as it's hand reached out to her and the silver ring that hung on the chain shattered as it almost touched her throat. the background was a twisting, swirling crimson.

She awoke with a start and immediately grabbed for the ring, holding it tightly in her shaking hands as she closed her eyes and tried to calm her racing heart. Once calmed, she opened her eyes to see everyone else was about to head out. Everything was going smoothly, that is, until the sudden death of Trish. Alice was there to witness a visibly shooken-up Bucciarati holding Trish's severed hand and Alice's PTSD kicked in and her vision faded to black as she heard her heart in her ears. She couldn't remember what all happened, by she remembers coming to as she was carrying and injured Trish and severly injured Bucciarati back to the group on her shoulders. She had blood caked up her nails, her hair was a wild mess, she couldn't bring herself to speak, the lower part of her tank top was ripped, revealing the long, faded scar with fresh bruises over it, her heart beat was fading out of her ear drums as the sound around her slowly came back. Giorno rushed to heal them and she just stood there next to the boat, trying to remember what happened with a blank look in her eyes. What snapped her out of it was Bucciarati saying, "I've made my resolve. I intend to track down the boss and kill him for the wrongs he's committed. If you intend to join me, then do so. If not, then don't get on the boat". In the end, it was him, Alice, Narancia, Abbacchio, Mista, Giorno, and Trish that got on the boat and headed off on their new adventure. On their down time, Alice was reflecting over her past when she heard a familiar noise. Alarmed by it, she rushed to see Abbachio's stand rennacting like her own when it's enraged. Bucciarti watched this reenactment before looking to Alice and saying, "Your stand. . . .it reacted far more violently and dealt far more damage then this when you fought against the boss. Can you explain why?". Alice, a bit pissed by them trying to figure out her stand, snapped at him, "The limits of my stand rely solely on how pissed I get. The more pissed I am, the stronger/more violent my stand is. However, I have less control over it and it gains more control over me. Seeing. . . ", she pulled the ring out and fiddled with it to calm herself before she continued with her eyes closed, ". . . Trish's severed hand agitated my PTSD and thus I blacked out. My stand is based on THE BEAST, a symbol for wild, unchecked rage. I normally suppress my rage and only expend as much of it as I need in battle, but seeing that made me loose it entirely".

He squinted at her a moment, as if studying her before he said, "And the point of fiddling with that ring?". She suppressed her irritation at that question by saying simply, "It was given to me by the man I love as a promise for us to reunite one day. Holding it quells my rage and calms me when I am upset as I cannot bring myself to destroy the symbol of a promise I have sworn to keep". He noded and Abbacchio desummoned his stand. "For these missions, I'm going to need you to-", before Bucciarati could finish his sentence, she threw him a look and said, "I understand you are the leader of this group, Bruno, but if you tell me to do what I've been doing for a couple more years then you have been on this earth, the only thing you are going to achieve is pissing me off again. Treat me as an equal and rest assured, you will have my respect". Bucciarati was silent a few moments before he said with a sigh, "Alright. If that is all you request, then i'll try to keep that in mind from now on". With that, she had earned his respect.

They continued on their travels, loosing Abbacchio and at the spot he died, she scratched the rock after he was barried and left a deep vein of amber as omage to him. She was only more determined as she stayed back with Bucciarati as old habits died hard with her. He didn't want her to come with him but wouldn't tell her to go upon seeing the determined look in her eyes. They were soon confronted by Secco and she and Bucciarati both tag-teamed the stand user, defeating him faster them Bucciarati would of his own. In doing so, they saved Doplio. He seemed a bit nervous around Alice, but non the less said, "U-um, thank you, but, we must get going if we are to retrieve the arrow". At the mention of it, Alice was suddenly on high alert as they made their way to the person who had the arrow. Upon seeing who it was, Alice's heart skipped a beat. Though he had lost his right eye, an arm, and he was sitting in a wheelchair because he had lost a good portion of his legs, Jean Pierre Polnareff was still the man she loved. She couldn't stop herself from rushing towards him and hugging him quite suddenly, holding his face close to her chest, much to his surprise. "Ah! wait, um, pardon me mademoiselle, but, uh, who-", but he stopped when he saw the silver ring on the necklace, "-Alice?!". She felt tears come to her eyes as she choked out softly, "I kept our promise. . . .". He embraced her and smiled softly as he said, "Forgive me, my love, for I am not as much of a man as I use to be". She wiped away her tears and smiled lovingly at him, "Nonsense. Even as you are, you are still the man I fell in love with all those years ago~". The moment would be sweet if it were not for Doplio revealing himself to be Diavolo. Diavolo questioned Polnareff why he had the arrow if he didn't need it. However, Alice got between them, saying with a snarl, "That's none of your damn business!". He was silent a moment before smirking at her as he said, "I was not talking to you, woman. Or should I refer to you as a Beast?". Upon Diavolo insult his woman, Polnareff used Silver Chariot to attack him. However, neither knew of King Crimson's ability until Alice was knocked by an invisible blow to the gut. She hit the stone wall, hard, and was knocked unconscious. Polnareff put up a good fight, but as the fatal blow was dealt, the amber stone on his necklace broke. Alice's tear, still glowing, fused with the amber shards and the shard became large spikes that stabbed into Diavolo's arm, hitting a vital vein of his. However, the arrow had struck Silver Chariot and it separated from Polnareff, becoming Chariot Requim as Polnareff laid dying. Diavolo lost consciousness due to the stand's power and so did everyone else.
