At Azusa's hut, where she was busy mending Myu and Ricka, after she dismantled and dissected them, removed of being in MIO's evil control. However, her boyfriend, Budo, appeared to her, and showed her a dangerous omen, courtesy of an old diary.

Azusa looked at the passage from DIO's diary, and then said, "This happened before… but it will not happen again. Asahi Sakurai and I talked about it. I told her about the history of MIO's mother, Ikara Tokisaki, but I never told her this, since it just came up."

She turned to Myu, who was standing in place with her eyes closed. She then said, "But still… I'm scared… Miss Momochi and Miss Machiyuki were slaves to the vampire, turned into robotic puppets. But freeing them of their Power Cores… It'll be long, before their human forms regain."

Budo said, "Indeed."

He asked, as he went near Myu, "But are they working properly?"

Azusa replied, "I don't know why… but it's hard to say… Maybe I can try something, and ask about this diary passage."

She then shook in fear, "But still… She's only powered by a Power Core… and I'm afraid to get a fresh gem made…"

He said, "You can't go near one."

"No."

"Perhaps I can help. This girl, who used to be human, is known for premonitions. Perhaps her future sights will aide us."

"And if it doesn't?"

"Then… God help us…"

Azusa looked at the motionless Myu, as she thought, "Even so… Asahi already left to meet with the others… And they do not leave for Cairo, just yet. I have to meet with The Gang, what's left of them, right here in New York, before they leave… before it's too late. This girl… She'll provide the answers…"

Episode XXX – Chapter 1: Destiny Repeated or Rewritten!
30 Years Ago…

Azusa then pondered, as she was pondering about what happened. She then started to remember a connection between DIO & MIO, being they were both vampires.

"Budo. The Gang, they have to know… from the side that is in America, and addressed to the ones that are in the Middle East, heading to Egypt. If they are to save their friend from an evil Power Core… Then, I best have this moment repeated, in a good way… but not how they all die, like before." She pleaded, as she was sensing the past.

She sobbed, "After what happened, long ago, I refuse to let this repeat itself, not like 30 years ago!"

Budo nodded, "Indeed… But it's different than we figured. This is new than just a vampire android, powered but hatred and corruption, created by a demonic witch, and forged from the hardest diamonds in the bowels of Fuji."

He asked, "Do you suddenly remember, coming from the diary page that I have recorded? I believe it."

She replied, "It's awful… So awful… They all died, during those years, from 1988 to 2011… and that started this godawful Moji Mikisa, created by Chris McLean! If we'd let Jotaro Kujoh live, none of this would be happening now!"

Budo barked, "WHAT? What are you saying? 1988 was a good thing!"

Azusa said, "No. It started the Apocalypse… or, that's what we'd figure."

She explained in her past view:
"1988 – America. Jotaro Kujoh was a high school student in Japan, 17 years of age… An accident left him to die, at the tender age of 41.
Before that all happened, in came the vampire that came before his successor, Mio Akiyama… The one called Dio Brando.
Born in 1867 (roughly about 150 years ago), young Dio was the son of hoodlum and miserly thief, Dario Brando. When Dio was born, Dario looted a man by the name of George Joestar. He was the father of the legendary user of Hamon, Jonathan Joestar.
One night, the Joestar Family suffered a fatal carriage accident, killing everyone. Dario, arriving at the dead of night, was about to steal from him, when George regained consciousness. He asked if his family was alright, but Dario confirmed that his wife, Mary Joestar, died. Only George and young Jonathan survived. If Dario hadn't come in, George would've died.
12 years later, The Joestars were greeted to young Dio, as they were becoming vast friends. But the rifts of friends and jerk alike… became a boiling brook… when all Dio wanted was money… Dio knew that, when Dario died, he would be sole heir to the Joestar clan. George adopted him, and welcomes him to the family.
But everything changed, when ONE sole mask changed Dio's life, forever… The stone mask once belonged to Jonathan's mother. It was said that blood was the key… In a tussle between the two boys, Dio's blood reacted to the stone mask. Seven years later, Jonathan learned more about the stone mask. He even learned the truth of why Dio wanted the Joestar Fortune."

Budo said, "He killed Dario…"

Azusa continued, "Indeed so. Following that, Jonathan learned that his father was poisoned by the very same poison that was used to kill Dario. After exposing Dio, he was arrested. But, before he was incarcerated… everything ended for Dio. He donned the mask, and changed into the vampire he was… Although Jonathan was victorious, Dio actually survived, when the Joestar Mansion was burned to the ground. This was after Dio killed George Joestar, using his blood to awaken the hidden powers of the stone mask.
And then on December 1st, 1888, Jonathan Joestar learned the Hamon technique, from his mentor, Baron Will A. Zeppeli, and used it to defeat Dio Brando, once and for all… but even so, Dio survived, again! And he was only a head… harbored by the man that aided him, Wang Chan.
What happened next… was on February 7th, 1889… Jonathan Joestar died, protecting his wife, Erina Pendleton-Joestar. Two days later, Erina and a baby girl named Elizabeth, the sole survivors of Dio's zombie massacre on a cruise ship, were saved in the Canary Islands. Only so, Jonathan's body was sunk in the Atlantic, joining Dio, who was just a head."

Azusa then sat down on a chair and said, "And this is all I know, for certain… 100 years later, on November 28th, 1988, since the horrific accident, Joseph Joestar learns of a horrible truth. He was the heroic grandson of Jonathan Joestar, and was the savior of defeating the Pillar Men. His daughter, Holly Joestar was suffered by the presence of a Stand. And she was unstable to control it. This led to the team-up of Joseph Joestar, his grandson and Holly's son, Jotaro Kujoh, and three other travelers: Noriaki Kakyoin, Muhammad Avdol, and Jean Pierre Polnareff. They were on a journey from Japan to Egypt, to stop DIO, as Dio Brando was called now, at the time, and save Holly Joestar from certain death… and they'd only have 50 days to do so. Holly's condition was similar to Mizuki's condition. On that horrifying day, Holly received a Stand of her own, but she was not strong enough to control it. Mizuki has the Robot Gene, one of the Vile Trio of the Precious Stones of Control, as held by Tohru Honda. And combined with the Power Core, Mizuki's body becomes unstable and weak."

She added, as Budo was upset, "But it's repeating itself, as we speak! Mio Akiyama, who was just a head, three years ago, somehow stole and decapitated Stephanie McMahon's corpse, and fused it with her, thus surviving her fate. This is a repeated performance of DIO's body-snatching style, for he stole the corpse of Jonathan Joestar."

She stated, "Broken Matt Hardy killed Stephanie McMahon, and no one cares about Stephanie, ever since the horrific Great West Greenwich War. But it was no coincidence. Stephanie's body was chucked into a coffin, and dunked into the watery depths, never to be seen, or even mentioned again, because everyone hates The Authority. But Stephanie was dunked way down in the Atlantic Ocean… on the very same spot that MIO was in. I don't know who it was… but someone must've not cared about Stephanie, so they threw her in, for no good reason; or… someone under Matt Hardy's evil influence dunked her body in, so MIO would retrieve it. The latter would be correct! The Broken bastard just used his mind-control to serve and rescue MIO!"

Budo said, "No… Uncanny. Who would do such a thing?"

Azusa replied, "Not sure. But we have no clue on who or what it was…"

She continued with the story:
"As I mentioned, I don't want the history to repeat itself, as I do not want them all to die… like the others did…
The group made it to Egypt, with only 14 days to spare. But, tragedy occurred, on January 16th, 1989. The first to die was Avdol, by a Stand User named Cool Ice. Another was another ally of theirs, a small Boston Terrier named Iggy. Cool Ice was slain by Polnareff. And then… at 5:15pm, Kakyoin died, after fighting DIO… but was avenged by Jotaro, when he defeated the vampire DIO, in the nick of time. After that, DIO's corpse was burned away, ending the nightmare forever…
Years passed, since DIO was defeated… But on April 5th, 2001, Polnareff is killed by The Boss, Diavolo… only his body returned to the land of living, and serves his new boss, Giorno Giovanna, the son of DIO.
The worst was yet to come… Jotaro Kujo went to save his own daughter, Jolyne Cujoh, after she was arrested and sent to Green Dolphin Street Jail… but… a man named Enrico Pucci killed him and Jolyne… but he was defeated by Emporio, and saved the universe, and DIO's plans never came to fruition. Of course, Emporio went to another universe which was different than ours… And this is how the Moji Mikisa was birthed, including evil beings like Chris McLean, Tohru Honda, Mistress Makie, The Hunie Bucs, Kagura Sohma, and others… and THAT includes Broken Matt Hardy & Mio Akiyama. They are mostly relatable to the evil Dio Brando and Enrico Pucci."

She then concluded, "That is why… The Gang cannot have a repeat performance. If these events are repeated, but by their own ways, and to doom the world, years later… Time will pass by, and they will ALL perish, one-by-one! I'm not saying that Mizuki Takase dies… I want her to live. But having to remember everything… only to learn of MIO's newest plan, and what DIO wrote here… then I believe that Matt Hardy and MIO are working together, to accomplish what DIO and Pucci didn't do!"

Budo said, "Your assumption is correct. I overheard their conversation; by them, I meant Miss Nevins and her group, including Miss Sakurai and Mr. Princeton, at a café, a month ago. I overheard what they witnessed. You noticed that Asahi has a diamond on her back. The same spot as the stars upon the Joestar Bloodline… What Rook said was true… as Chazz Princeton holds the star upon his back… He is NOT related to the Joestar Family, but his destiny is written. However, it's unsure if, despite his recent heroics, he is able to best MIO… Perhaps, something else. If Chazz Princeton's Ojama Star, his Spirit Caller, is able to meet MIO's Stand, face-to-face, MIO will surely win. Chazz Princeton is NO Jotaro Kujo."

Azusa then said, "But still… It was that sad day… Enrico Pucci, despite claims and rumors that Chris McLean started the AU Mix-Up that drastically changed everything for seven years now, is the one responsible for the Moji Mikisa. Jotaro Kujo's death, the emergence of Tohru Honda's evil side, the chaos that caused every world, including the Planet Earth, the Fuji Gem history… It was all Pucci!"

"But isn't Pucci dead?"

"Yes. But… there is another…"

Meanwhile, a girl in short light brown hair was walking down the pier of Southern Florida. She was wearing a dark green hoodie and light blue jeans. She looked to the sky, as her long bangs, covering her eyes, were lightly blowing in the wind. She was lying by the metal post, relaxing. She viewed a building and said, "Soon… The Moji Mikisa will usher in a new world…"

Who was this mysterious woman? All we know is that she's conveniently located, hiding in stealth, in the area that started the Moji Mikisa – The Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Azusa approached Myu, and strokes her left pigtail with her hand. "Budo…" she whispered, "Activate her from behind my back. I… I can't look at her… at this state…"

She turned away, as Budo shone in a neon shine, "Azusa, for you, I will do as I can… But until they are fully recovered, we leave them. History… will not repeat itself."

He turned to Myu and revived her. Her eyes suddenly opened, as she asked, "Hau? Where am I?"

Azusa turned to Myu and said, "Miss Momochi… Do not be alarmed… Budo revived you, only with his Chikyuji."

"Chikyuji?" she asked.

"Yes. I believe we met, after you and Miss Machiyuki were-."

"AAAH! RICKA-SENPAI!" She screamed, as she saw Ricka, in pieces.

She ran to her, as she grabbed Ricka's head. She sobbed, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER? SHE'S DEAD! SENPAI!"

She bawled, as Budo asked, "Huh? Why is she crying?"

Azusa said, "Momochi! Listen to me! Your friend, Ricka Machiyuki… and yourself… you were under the vampire's evil control, turning both of you into mindless androids, powered by the jewels."

Myu then sniffled, "You… You knew, did you? I knew of my fate, too… knowing we are now no longer human… Why?"

Azusa pleaded, "Listen to me, Myu… We want a favor from you. In return, we want you to be happy, and you and Ricka can live again…"

She asked her, "Can you use your premonitions… to sense the future of this entire world?"

Myu gasped, "Hau?!"

Back in New York, Mundy held up binoculars, as he was up on the roof. He boomed, "Hierophant Sniper!"

His aura shone, and used the binoculars to look around, seeing everything going on, within a 500,000 mile radius. He then complimented himself, "Ah, I have good 500/500 vision. Who knew this power is so potent? But the very least, I can be able to track down any enemies with this… I used to be like a support ally, but I can't believe that my skills have improved."

Asahi appeared, and then asked, "Uh… Oscar… Ahem! Uh, just curious…"

"OH? What's up, little bit?" He asked her.

Asahi asked, "I know you have this sort of power, but… … …Do you have a Spirit Caller or a Stand?"

"Eh?"

"Well, not to sound thicc on this… but Cassandra and I had a chat, and my Mech-Asahi form also doubles as a Stand… I wonder if you had one."

He replied, "You mean like Chazz, Farra, and a few others? Well… Now that you mention it, Michelle did told us the existence of Stands, back from the days of DIO. She even stated that this spirit is created by life energy. And yes, it does seem creepy, but from what Peter told me, it's legit…"

Asahi nodded, "I think I remembered what he said to Chazz, back when he was in jail…"

Peter told Chazz about the Spirit Callers, "This… is the truth: This may look like an evil spirit, but it's far from it! You have what nobody else have conjured! Long ago, when you were in Duel Academy, you experienced a power like no other. They are called "Spirit Callers". And since you possess your spirit partners, from long ago, your Ojamas have fused, within age, forming the most savage Ojama of them all! This Spirit Partner, in which you believe is an evil spirit, is actually a powerful vision, created by your own life energy!"

Asahi replied, "And even so, he named it Ojama Heart, before it was Ojama Star. I never knew it is a Stand."

Mundy said, "Asa, Spirit Callers and Stands are two different entities of life energy, created from within you, and only those of a pure heart. Spirit Callers are considered ghosts, but with physical matter that looks and acts real, and has roughly higher energy. Stands, on the other hand, are beings created using a fighter's spirit, manifesting from within. Spirits are stronger than Stands, since Stands are roughly similar to Hamon. They are usually called "The Ghostly Ripple". However, Stands exceed within the mind, more than Spirit Callers. While they are both strong powers, mental strength is the key."

Asahi whispered, looking at her hand, "Wow…"

Mundy said, "But you ask if I have one… NO, I don't. Steven doesn't have one, either. And his word is clear, because I have a pure heart…"

Asahi added, "And he doesn't. But it's because Kanade Jinguji shattered it, I bet…"

Mundy said, "No. It was before that. You mates used to hate Steven Cooke, being he's an arrogant wanker. Years passed, and you like him now, saying he's a good friend."

Asahi replied, "I would never jeer at him! I admire him, until I learned he was heartbroken and lonely! I know he has NO pure heart… but am I going to haze at him, for no good reason? NO! Even if they are good or bad, or jerks, or snobs, I have no evil backbone in me to lash out!"

Mundy asked, "What about towards the Nevins Daughters?"

Asahi huffed, "That was different. They can't say my name right, and they're just kids!"

She responded, "But still…"

She thought, "A Spirit Caller and a Stand are two different beings… Michelle said that MIO is responsible for manifesting our Stands… But I thought my power is a Spirit Caller… Did Michelle misread the information?"

Mundy nodded, "Well, now you know. Hell, even I had no idea what they are, until I learned how to use Hierophant Sniper."

She bowed and said, "Thanks, Oscar. I don't know, either, but I'm going to try my best, being I'm one of The Gang's Aces!"

He said, "Indeed… But watch your Spirit Caller… and keep it safe."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well… I hate to say it, but… Should your Spirit Caller gets destroyed, your body will cease to being. Similar to Stands, they are powered by unlimited life energy. But they're NOT invincible. Back in the Nishikinomiya Mansion, you almost fought… and somehow you were about to unleash it. Even as Mech-Asahi, with or without your bracelet, your Spirit Caller is your identity and life force."

Asahi felt upset, as she held her bracelet, "Now I am worried…"

XXXXX

Inside Farra's room, she was strumming her guitar, as she recited from a sheet of paper.
"A is for America, the country tis of thee.
B is for the Scotland, which Bonnie lies across the sea.
C is for the California, where only the smog is free.
D is for the Motor City, and the new cars on TV.
E is the Egyptian Tombs, where you want your mummy.
F is for the Sunshine State, the home of the brave and the land of the free."

Steven asked, as he was by the doorway, "Hey, what're you doing?"

She said, "I was reciting an old poem Heather once wrote, back in the 3rd grade. She got an F on it."

He said, "Oh, I don't remember that."

"NO, you were young…"

They sat together, as they suddenly felt nervous. She then asked, as she was blushing, "Steven… Do you remember… when I…"

She cleared her throat, as she stated, "Well… I mean, it's… You were still young, and…"

She blushed heavily, as she gulped. She replied in complete nervousness, "Uh… Did you once heckled a young girl in a department store, when she was flirting with a mannequin?"

He asked, "Why do you say that?"

She replied, as she was worried, "Well… Just a thought…"

He recalled, but then said, "I don't know… I don't think I did. But that was long ago… Why?"

She blushed, with tears in her eyes. She whispered, "You asshole…"

She sniffled, as he asked, "Wait… I did remember a girl that posed with a male mannequin, back when I was in-. Farra? Wait… That was you?"

Farra wept, "I can't believe you remembered… And to think, you became nice to me now… and a friend…"

She was crying, as Steven said, "No, Farra, I'm sorry. Don't cry. I didn't mean to say it… I had no idea it was…"

He paused and glared at Cassandra, who overheard everything. Cassandra said, "You made her cry. Qué perro!"

He huffed, "Call me a dog?"

Cassandra said, "She has been through a lot, a while ago…"

"Likewise myself. You had a long time, and she was at that place, posing in public."

"I know… But she's escaping her past, but not anymore."

He asked her, "Wait… How come you weren't in that store, posing as a mannequin?"

Cassandra said, "Because… At the time Parker Andrews had partial ownership with mi hermano, I was banned from the premises, for snooping. Now, he's in jail, and Luther owns Casa de Muñecas, thanks to your faction, The Speedwagon Foundation."

He replied, "It's not a problem… But they're not our allies. They're just friends of Michelle and Percival."

"Oh. I thought AAW was with the Speedwagon Foundation." Cassandra stated.

Steven smirked, "No… That was before we knew about it. We're more of allies to the World Government."

Farra added, "Until we learned that Triple H wants our heads, for no good reason."

Steven barked, "There was a good reason! We let Stephanie McMahon die, and made MIO harbor her body! We didn't have time to help!"

Farra replied, "If I ever get the chance, I'd meet with Triple H, face-to-face! Then I'll teach him a lesson about the difference between going by the book and doing what's best for business!"

Cassandra asked, "What is with your grudge with Triple H? And… who is he?"

Steven said, "I'll tell you later."

She then said, "Then, perchance that I have a suggestion?"

Farra asked, "Huh?"

Back in the Middle East, riding in a horse and carriage, Team Nevins, with Enyama in tow, tied up, was riding to their next destination – Karachi, Pakistan's industrial and financial center, located in the Indus River Delta.

Minutes later, they arrive in Karachi. Michelle spotted a small diner.

"Oh! A Kebob joint." She smiled, "Let's stop there and get a bite to eat."

She halted the carriage, as Peter asked, "Huh? Chicken gyros?"

The Doner Kebob, it's also called the Hamburger of the Middle East. A slab of meat is placed on a spit, its outer layer roasting, as it turns; before long, the meat is cooked, sliced, and served in numbers of ingredients and condiments.

Michelle called to a man in shades and a robe, "Excuse me, sir? We'll take four kebobs. Also, you have one with chicken? My Big Lad here is allergic to beef."

The man said, "Sure. That'll be 1,000 Yen."

Michelle asked, "Eh? A thousand Yen?"

In the business world in the Middle East, Japanese and Western business practices are nowhere near universal. Namely, prices change and are open to negotiation, with no understanding or know how to haggle for a good sale, first time visitors can be easy targets for exploitation. But here, people don't see exploitation as a bad thing. The swindler is considered a fool, not a victim. Haggling takes guts and ingenuity. In this Moji Mikisa, any currency will be eligible, but… since the death of Kagura Sohma, last of Tohru Honda's generals, all of the business practices reverted back to normal, including the Middle East.

Michelle smirked, "Really?"

Step 1: The Art of the Bluff
Make it clear that you see through the trick. Let him know you're no slouch.

Michelle laughed, "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! Don't mock me now, that's too much for a handful of kebobs!"

Step 2: A Hearty Laugh Always Help
Laughing will help, but the merchant will test the waters.

The merchant spoke, "Oh, yeah? How much would you buy it for?"

Michelle boomed, "Make it 250 Yen for five!"

Step 3: Make a lower price
Make a price so low, you can't help but to blush. And then…

The merchant laughs, "Ha, ha, ha, haaaaa!"

He'll act as if you had no sense, at all. Catching on?

He boasted, "If I sold you for that cheap, I'd be out on the streets, and my wife and seven children would starve to death!" and then did a throat slit gesture to Michelle, explaining what will happen to his family.

Step 4: Give up and "leave"
But you don't give up, just yet. Pretend that you're leaving.

Michelle roared, "Then maybe I'll just buy them, somewhere else!"

The merchant giggled, "Okay, lady! You win! I do admire foreigners. I'll sell you five for 700 Yen."

If that fails, haggle again!

Michelle boomed, "Make it 300 Yen!"

DING! DING! DING!
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO HAGGLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!

"600!"

"350!"

"550!"

"400!"

"450!"

They both shouted, at the same time, "425!"

Michelle yelled, "I'LL TAKE THEM!"

She thought, "Alright! I got them for less that his original price. I made out like a bandit."

Michelle got the food, as she gave him the 425 Yen. And just as you think you won…

The merchant snickered, "I usually sell five for 150 Yen."

He called to her, "Bye-bye, ma'am!"

Michelle smirked, as she got her food. Little did she know… she was ripped off.

She then gasped. From inside the carriage, she saw Enyama in the back seat, awake. Michelle cried, "HOLY CRAP! Everyone turn around! That old lady's awake!"

They turned to her. Enyama was shuddering in fright, as she was sweating bullets. She whispered, "I promised you. I haven't said anything, I swear. Why are you here? What could you possibly want with me? Did you actually think I'd tell you the secret to Lady MIO's Stand? I am and always be her loyal servant!"

Heather asked, "A Stand?"

They turned to the merchant, as he was the only one available in the area. He removed his hood and robe, and his shades. Enyama shuddered in fright, seeing his face. She whispered, "N-n-n-no… You're…"

SPLATTER!
Worms and entrails spewed out from within her eyes, her mouth, her orifices, and her entire body. The carriage was demolished from that, and the horse they rode on galloped away. Team Nevins hopped off the totaled carriage.

Yamabuki cried, "GROSS! WHAT ARE THEY? SOME KIND OF WORMS?"

Enyama pleaded, "WHY? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG! WHY DID YOU COME TO KILL ME?"

The man said, "Lord Nevins lays his trust to no one. Lady Honda believes in her slaves and minions to get the job done. That is why. And it's my job to make sure that you never speak again. Lord Nevins paid me to kill you, Enyama. And as for the rest of you, the only way you're escaping in in pieces."

Enyama dropped down to the dirt, exploding in blood. Yamabuki shrieked, "MEMERE!"

The man posed, as he said, "You can call me… Black Haru. I am the foil to Tohru Honda's deal. My gem is the black jet, the lignite, compliments of Kagura Sohma. Lord Nevins paid me to oust your jerks, so to avenge my cousin, so I'll see to it that I end your lives, just like I did the pathetic witch, Enyama."

He was a tall boy with white spiky hair and black on the bottom. He is wearing a black shirt and pants, showing a calm look. Yamabuki yelled, "HOW COULD YOU? Why would you do that to one of your own? You crazy son of a-!"

She ran to the dying old lady and cried, "BABA!"

She croaked, "LIES! LIES! THESE ARE ALL LIES! HE WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ME! LORD NEVINS AND LADY MIO WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ME! I… AM THEIR LOYAL SERVANT… LORD NEVINS!"

Heather called out, "These things coming out of her body! They're definitely NOT from a Stand or Spirit! Don't you see it? These are NOT worms! They're tentacles!"

Enyama bawled, "I am dedicated to serve MIO, for her evil reign. I would never do anything to defy her! She'd never planted a LUST Core at me!"

Heather gasped, "WHAT DID SHE SAY?"

Enyama gagged, "Lord Nevins, your husband, was the only reason for living! He introduced me to Lady MIO! We trust each other, wholeheartedly!"

Yamabuki unleashed Ninja Chariot and shouted, "HOLD ON!" and thrusted its Katana onto the tentacles. The severed tentacles dropped to the ground, into the sunlight. They were vaporized into dust.

"The sun!" Michelle cried, "It disintegrated them! Those tentacles are made with MIO's own flesh cells!"

Haru said, "Precisely. You're such a perceptive one, as Lord Nevins told me about you, Michelle Nevins. You're his sister… correct? And the blonde, she's his wife. Since you're that astute, and for family of Lord Nevins, I'll continue. This is what a full-grown LUST Core looks like. I wanted to kill her, not make her a controlled slave. So, I planted it inside the old bag."

He called out, "Enyama! You may be the one who told Lord Nevins about Spirt Callers and Stands, but you are a fool to think a man with complete power would ever trust a feeble old woman like you! Unfortunately for you, I guess it's a point you failed to realize."

Michelle hopped to Enyama and yelled, "OLD LADY! MIO has a Stand, correct? What's the true identity and power to it? And my brother, does HE have a Stand?"

They all grew concerned, as she yelled, "TELL US! You placed all your hope into me brother! You trusted him, with your life and your daughter's! And now, after all you sacrificed, you realize that Steven Nevins was not the man you thought he was! MIO's ten times worse off! Is he really manipulating him, or has he turned? You know I'm right!
YOU HAVE TO TELL US ABOUT HOW TO STOP MIO! TELL US! WE NEED TO KNOW! WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MIO'S STAND, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"

Enyama gagged and croaked, in her final words:
"MIO… She believes in me… so… I will serve her… even in death… Lord Nevins… is not… what you think… he is… I won't… betray… her…"

And then, she let out a death rattle and died. Michelle gasped in horror, as the others were shocked.

"OH, GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD!" Michelle roared to the heavens.

To be continued…
