It was a week later that the group returned to Naples as that started to reboard the Galaxy King.
"Hey bro. This is just a call to say we're heading back." Hope said.
"Really? That's...swell. I was hoping you'd stay in Italy longer though." Jack said.
"Eh, don't worry about it. We still had a great time of it all." David said. "Oh, and… Let's just say that your father won't have to worry about dark dealings from Passione anymore."
"Huh?" Jack asked.
"Y'know that mysterious boss who was controlling the Passione, who dad made a deal with to never try to take over his territory?" Hope asked. "We, sorta… defeated him."
"What?!" Jack asked.
"Yeah, and Giorno's now the new boss of Passione. Isn't that wonderful?" Hope asked.
"Uh...yeah. Super." Jack said. "(Wonder if I should have told them I just gave them those tickets so they'd get out of my hideout? Probably gonna live longer if I just go with it.)"
"Yep, so...our little trip to Italy is over." SE said. "We're heading back to your place. Oh, and we got you some souvenirs while we were at it."
"Guys, I don't think we should head back to Jack's place. He still has to find all of Joker's Confidants, and we may have put him behind." Hope said.
"(That's right. I was so busy cleaning up, I completely forgot.)" Jack thought. "Uh...right. I could use some help with that...unless you think you're too...law abiding to help a thief?"
"It's not really that, it's just…" David started before he and Cheetah heard some familiar howls. "That howl… Did you hear that?"
Alice heard them too. "It's Zacian… and Zamazenta!" she said turning around to see only silhouettes of them but nothing. "Oh…"
"I think this means they're calling us back to Galar. They might've discovered something." David said.
"Or maybe it was just our…" Titanica said before a flyer hit her. "Ugh. What is it with...what's this? A flyer advertising a new battle tournament setting up somewhere called the Isle of Armor. Starts in a couple weeks too."
"Isle of Armor? Never heard of that place.." Hope said.
"It's the island just to the west of Galar. The reason you never heard of it was because the trains leading to it were shut down for repair." Sci-Twi said. "Given a tournament is being announced, the trains there must be close to working again. There are Pokémon there that can't be normally found on the main continent."
"Well, let's not keep Zacian and Zamazenta waiting, then." David said.
"Wait, hold on!" Hope said. "Maybe we shouldn't go back to Galar so early. If you guys don't mind…. I think we should help my brother with finding the confidants he needs."
"Besides, it says the tournament doesn't start for a couple weeks. We have plenty of time to do both." Titanica said. "Still...the Isle of Armor...a new place in Galar I knew nothing about."
"And given the opportunity, another chance for your team to do another Pokémon hunting safari." Jexi said, looking to the Brave Adventurers.
"Always good to keep our teams updated." Sectonia said.
"Same with us too. Who knows what sort of excitement is waiting for us. Let's go." Indigo said as they boarded the Galaxy King as it rocketed off.
As they did, inside of an unmarked room, as Mista opened a window, a golden wind blew right in as he and Polnareff looked at Giorno as he was being ushered in as the new don of Passione.
