What was good and what was bad… everything happened, since a lot of things happened.

First, Shion Sonozaki broke out of jail and vowed vengeance on The Gang. But Steven Nevins, who was freed from his jail time in Cairo, sought his vendetta on his former minion, for failing him.

Second, the drug Euphoria hit markets, all around the USA. But The Gang intervened and stopped the cartel. Satoko Hojo was the responsible one… until truth revealed that Oka Kazamatsuri and Hotaru Kokonohi were playing the pieces of delivering the drug, using their android ninja assassins to stop them. Sadly, they all fell, leaving only Oka & Hotaru left.

Finally, Krystle Giese was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a crime she almost committed. Hawley and Slater were the ones that sent her up the river, in vengeance against The Gang… but they fell to their unexpected deaths. And it gravelly cost plenty. Peter Giese came to her aid, but fell to the Stand, Night Samba, aka Pale Snake. And the user behind it… Father Ritsu Tainaka. She was a Watcher, who was also a follower to the vampire, MIO.

The drug was stopped for now, and The Gang relocated to their next mission. With Peter Giese still recovering, what is next for them?

In fact… all we can tell you is that Krystle Giese was given a full pardon. Here's why.

Episode 13 – Chapter 1: Full Freedom!
The Judgment Falls to Light!

This occurred during the battle with Pale Snake and Ritsu.

At St. Venus Street, Mizuki was gloomy, as she was sitting on the couch. Cassandra gave her some ice cream and said, "Here. That's how I feel when I'm feeling sad."

Mizuki huffed, "Ice cream's for breakups. And by the way, he's not dead."

Cassandra smiled, "Then, I hope he pulls through. He will, I promise." She checked her watch, "OH! TV Time… It's time for the pardon."

Mizuki said, "Yeah, I heard. So, who do you think will fight against us?"

"An agent from IIA… I heard your friends are now members of IIA, after AAW folded."

"Yeah. Archer said that after Malory Archer died, he wanted to move on, and continue being the best secret agent ever. Sadly, he's still #3, behind Steven and Asahi. So, Asa had Fabian watch over them, but under parole. Because we know all about Fabian's evil plans."

"I see… And when Archer destroyed the files for fossils for fuel, he one-upped him. Now I fear we may have to fish him out, when this is over…"

"They'll be back. The Agency isn't going anywhere."

They watched, as Asahi returned, badly scathed, "I'm back…" She asked, "Oh, has the trial started?"

Mizuki said, "Yep. It's about to start… What happened to you?"

"Long story. I'll explain, later…"

Mizuki said, "Come on and sit. The trial's starting."

They watched on, as the trial was about to begin.

A judge was present, as a man in a gray suit was sitting in the prosecution area.

"This pardon hearing will come to order. The hearing will discuss the pardons planned for three inmates in St. Dolphin Prison in South Florida. The inmates in-question are Krystle Giese, Jason Brighton, and Kim Cheonsa… all three currently incarcerated in St. Dolphin. Who will defend the three inmates?"

The meek man in blue said, "Me, sir. Name's Gil. And I will defend the three people that are wrongfully accused."

The judge asked, "And for the prosecution?"

Ray called, "Me, your honor. Raymond Q. Gillette, former AAW agent now IIA Agent."

Mizuki and Asahi gasped, "RAY?!"

"Very well. Opening arguments." The judge called, as he banged his gavel.

Ray said, "Now, I would say justice has been served, but what we have here is THREE convicted felons, wanting a pardon, after the horrible experiences they suffered. Miss Krystle Giese… Giese… hmm… (sorry, Big Man). Miss Giese was charged for vehicular assault and murder. She is currently serving up to 20 years. Originally she got 15, but altercations at the prison made her grab extra years. Jason Brighton, serving 10 years for bank robbery. He was the brother of David Brighton who was killed by fellow convict Sports Maximus, and is serving the remainder of his five years. And as for Kim Cheonsa, her sentence is 10 years… though how she was convicted remains uncertain. These are charges that are despicable! And when you disobey the law, you pay the price!"

He sat down, as Gil stated, "Now, what they did was wrong, but I say that the whole system is wrong! What they did was just. Miss Giese said that she was innocent, because she was riding with her boyfriend… and intoxicated. So, she wouldn't have done that. And Jace and Kim, not too much about them, but I believe that these three young people deserve a second chance. And for what? Bizarre complications that followed? Hawley and Slater have evidence that gives Mr. Gillette an instant win, but they're dead now! But if we're going to solve this, we have to reach for a reliable source. These three deserve justice… and freedom!"

The judge stated, "Opening statements over. Mr. Gillette, you may proceed."

Ray introduced one of the guards in St. Dolphin, the same guard that was coldcocked from when Peter visited Krystle, "Tell me, when you were in the visitation room, something happened."

"I don't know… Miss Giese, or FE40536, started to beat me up, in a wild rage. She even stated that her brother was the last person she would see again."

"And did you remember, before you lost consciousness?"

"Not that I know of… but when I woke up, they vanished. Of course, we later learn that FE40536, Miss Giese, was a victim to John Johnny A, another inmate from the Men's Prison. Both of them went to solitary confinement, but John Johnny A killed himself, during his stay."

Ray nodded, "I see… And nothing else happened?"

"No, sir."

Ray said, "Prosecution rests…"

Gil stated, "Sir, I'd like to know, what was Krystle Giese – no, FE40536's reason for visitation?"

"Her brother came to visit her. That's all I know. But after the altercation, we revoked her visitor rights."

"But did you remember what happened, during the scuffle?"

"Now that you mention it… Gunshots were made, and I believe it was John Johnny A, not Krystle Giese."

"So, you were attacked, and she was a victim?"

"Not until after the bitch punched me in the face! You should know that hitting a guard increases your jail time!"

The judge barked, "If you are to speak, refrain from profanity!"

The guard said, "Afterwards, when I woke up, Krystle Giese vanished, and gunshots were made. During our search, a few of our guards were killed, possibly by John Johnny A, and I believe Krystle was being escorted to her cell… though, she fled the prison, if not for the freelancers that came to her. Peter Giese's partners."

"And Peter is her brother…"

"Yes, sir."

"No further questions."

The warden was in his seat, as Ray said, "When one of your guards was killed, who was it that led the search for two escaped criminals?"

"Miss Sakurai and the rest of her friends. Miss Martinez, Mister Cooke, and Miss Stevens. They were volunteer guards, in order to protect FE40536…"

"I see. And what was the reason?"

"As the guard said, Krystle Giese was victimized by John Johnny A, and was under watch and protection. Though, I was shocked to learn about a sudden phone call made to Speedwagon Foundation…"

"Hmm… Well, was the phone call about escaping? I believe that is the plan."

"Well, according to the message, she had no plans of escaping… Something about a disc that can wake her brother up."

Ray stated, "I see… And you have no clue what happened… so you locked her in?"

"Punishment Ward's Ultra Security Level. We have no idea what and why, but we couldn't take any chances."

Ray said, "That'll be all."

Gil asked the warden, "Mr. Loco, you mentioned the Ultra Security Punishment Ward. Why did you send her down there?"

"No idea, but because of the deaths of guards, plus a downpour of poisonous toads, we cannot risk Miss Giese to be present towards others."

"A frog rain… Did you once had a rainstorm of frogs before?"

"No… Not since 2011…"

"I see. So, the phone call. What was the phone call about?"

"Well, Speedwagon Foundation is taking care of her brother. And she has a disc that can restore him to life… but I couldn't believe her. And she added that she had no intentions of escaping."

Ray shouted, "OBJECTION! Your honor, she was revoked of her visitation rights, after the John Johnny A incident! How can SHE have a visitor waiting for her?"

The judge said, "Sustained."

The Warden said, "Yes, she lost her right… but she even told him so. Granted, that is her task. She wasn't ruthless enough to break out… She just wanted to save her brother's life. That's all." He added, "But I was curious about this Savage Guardian plan that she concocted. Was it code for breakout, or code for emergency?"

One of the guards explained to Gil, "When we first found Jason Brighton, he was under the weather, you see. By the time we have his name on our records, we rushed him over to Medical Ward. He never got to his new cell, yet."

Gil asked, "What is his relationship with David Brighton?"

"Older brother… like the son he never had. Was once an owner of a trendy cafe, before Sports Maximus (real name: Maxwell Portman) would murder him in cold blood. Jason Brighton, however, was enraged."

"And was he purposely in jail, for a crime he didn't commit?"

"Not really… But he refused to speak on the matter."

Gil said, "Your witness."

Ray stated, "What exactly did Jason Brighton do, before being sent to St. Dolphin Prison?"

The guard stated, "Bank robbery. His charge was 5 years… but was upped to ten, after a scuffle with the guards. For some reason, one of the guards' ears was sliced off. And Mr. Brighton didn't touch him."

Ray gagged, "Dukes…" He cleared his throat and said, "AHEM! And, uh… Has Jason Brighton done anything too rash, since his time in St. Dolphin?"

"No, nothing at all. Other than being close to Miss Giese."

"Nothing further."

They sat down, as Gil stated, "Your honor, I believe that we covered two of the three prisoners… but I don't have Kim Cheonsa's files."

Ray replied, "I do. Though, as you can see from the portfolio, she was arrested by her father. I'll read it to you now."

Asahi gasped, "Kim's backstory?"

Cassandra said, "Oh, my…"

Ray explained Kim's story:
"When Kim was only 16, she was once a sweet girl, living and caring in the world. She does have a sort of love for studying and music. Her father was Korean Diet Member, Kang Cheonsa. His wife passed away, after Kim was born. Kim was always doing what his father said… including learning to study for college. But one faithful day, during a business meeting in Seoul.
At the time, Kim was only 19, and she suddenly had a relapse of her condition. She suffered a personality disorder, and once assaulted a member of the committee. Embarrassed by this stature, Cheonsa was arrested for assault. Her time was 10 years in prison, after Kang Cheonsa pleaded her guilty."

They all gasped, as the judge calmed down, "Order in this court!" He asked, "Mr. Gil, anything to say about this new evidence?" Gil replied, "No, your honor… That's all that I wanted to hear. And even so, Kim Cheonsa has vanished from existence… or hiding for that matter."

The judge stated, "I believe I've heard enough." He started to concluded, "In light of this evidence, Miss Giese, Mr. Brighton, and Miss Cheonsa were all convicted, but truly just, these three were claimed as simply… unsaved! This court finds that these three will remain in prison, for the remainder of their sentence." he held his gavel and called, "The pardons of Giese, Brighton, and Cheonsa are all denied. This court is adjourned."

"Just a moment, your honor." A woman said, as she sat up, "A moment of your time…"

The judge said, "Ma'am, it's too late. Unless you have further evidence that will reverse my decision–."

"But I do, your honor…" The woman said, with a light purple outfit, long black hair, and with a red ribbon on, "I have with me… the documents of the truth behind Miss Cheonsa's arrest, and the reason why she was in prison. There is also concrete evidence showing Miss Giese's arrest, as it was simply perjury."

Ray cried, "YOUR HONOR! Wait a minute! You're going to allow it?! It's over! No pardon! They are jailbirds, nuff said!"

The judge barked, "ORDER! As much as I want to believe her, the decision stands. But if you have uncovered truth about what happened that day… then I have no choice. Court is in recess for 15 minutes. Miss, you may present the documents to me in my chambers."

"Very well, your honor…" She walked off, as Ray barked, "Wait a sec!"

The judge banged the gavel, and he said, "This court is now in recess!"

Ray yelled, "JUST A MINUTE!" He paused, as he felt a dark shadow loom inside the woman. He whispered, "God… dammit… Wait!"

He rushed to her, and called, "You there, Miss!"

"May I help you?"

"I don't know what you're doing… but who the hell do you think you are, ruining my big chance to impress Fabian?" he stated.

"Sorry… I don't praise traitors. Not even you, Ray Gillette."

She walked off, as Ray cried, "Wha–? How did you even know my name?"

"Let's just say… not even you can believe it. I already know the outcome of this trial. You already lost…" She turned away and Ray was speechless. "That little… … … Who was she?"

At New York, Mizuki was shocked, "Whoa… Just when things are lost, she saves the day!"

Cassandra asked, "Mizuki, do you know who she is?"

"No idea… But her aura is intimidating."

All Asahi did was stare, as she was certain. "Homura Akemi… What the hell are you doing here?"

Elsewhere, far away from America, a woman in all black was watching the trial. She was furious, as she whispered, "No… It can't be… What the hell is she doing here?"

XXXXX

While we waited for the trial results, meanwhile, back in present day, Kim was hiding in the halls, as she was sad. She whispered, "The priest did it? All this time, Ritsu killed my mother? This is bad…" She ducked away, as two armed guards walked past her. She hid in stealth and said, "Krystle, I'm sorry… I can't believe E.E. is gone… and I am horrified to help you, knowing what happened. This prison went into Maximum Security Alert. Krystle… Where is she?"

She looked around, all the while she was avoiding the guards' vision. Kim thought, "The priest that was here has already left… even the baby with her… But I checked and she had no belongings. What a fool I was… The priest was Pale Snake, all along. She betrayed Azusa Nakano, blinded Budo Itsuka, and now… There's no hope left."

Krystle called, "KIM! KIIIIIM!"

Kim asked, "Uh? It's her!"

One guard said, "I think she was around here. Be on the lookout for FE61755!"

"Shit! I'm #FE61755!" Kim was frightened, "NO! They got her…" She fled through the wall.

Krystle went to her, but she was gone, "Where the hell did she go?"

The second guard said, "We'll find her. And then, we'll tell her the good news. Just stay here, FE405–, uh, Miss Giese. MEN, MOVE OUT!"

They marched off, as Krystle waited. She sat down and said, "Kim, I know you're using Dream High. Come on out…"

Kim emerged from the wall and said, "I'm sorry… I can't come out. Not after what you did. We failed, alright? The priest is gone, and so did the baby!"

"That's alright… because I'm going after her."

"But how? This place is guarded tightly!"

"Didn't you hear? I got out. A full pardon."

Kim gasped, "PARDON?! You mean you…"

"Yes. And good news for you–."

"How can you be smiling, knowing that you get to go scot free, and I don't?!" Kim argued, "After everything I've done for you, you're going to leave me?"

"Wait, it's not true. There's more–!"

"YOU'RE FULL OF IT, KRYSTLE GIESE! I HATE YOU!"

She ran off, but Krystle grabbed her arm with Stone Wind. She stated, "I'm not a free woman… No, not alone. You, Jason, and myself… We're free. For the months I was in, I was stuck being in despair… until my brother gave me happiness again. A way to make me smile. I don't care what it takes. Farra and Steven got Azusa's disc… and they have to return home. This is not a breakout, Kim! This is freedom. I told you, I'd bide my time, until they say I'm ready. Like I said… I'm innocent."

Kim turned away, as her glasses dropped to the floor, "Why? Why should I talk to you?"

Krystle stated, "Because I can't fight this fucker alone! Ritsu Tainaka fooled us all, but she won't get away! The Gang knows of her next route… but we cannot stop her, without you and Jason!"

"But you're the only one who survived the Punishment Ward! They questioned you for being the one responsible!"

"Yeah, but before they could, World Government sprung me. No, us. I already read what Azusa's disc said, and why my brother sealed MIO's Stand away! I now know what Ritsu meant by "all these years…" and why she grabbed the disc. The fact is I'm not going to let that priest get away with it! My name is Krystle Giese, and I'm the little sister of the man who ended the vampire, MIO! And when we leave, we will seal away what Ritsu plans! I'm going to seal away again what they planned!"

Kim was shocked, but she hesitated. She hissed, "I can't go with you… No…" Her eyes went hostile and barked, "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!"

She swatted her down and roared, "YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO ABANDON ME! YOU FUCKING CUNT!"

She fell down, as Kim was furious, "Kim? What the hell is wrong with you?"

Kim sneered, "You think saving your brother is the only thing that matters? Fool… I don't believe you. Pale Snake trapped you here, and there's no escape now. NO ONE will save you this time. I know it. Why? Because that bitch killed my mom!" Kim seethed, "I'm not leaving this prison! I did something of a crime, and I won't leave!" She smirked, "Besides… The whole pardon thing was just a lie. There is no pardon. Venus Otomegawa planned the escape. You think that what you are doing is right?"

Krystle pleaded, "Kim, what's gotten into you? Why are you acting–?" She gasped, "What the hell? You're acting…"

"Yes… This is the real me, Krystle Giese…" Kim smirked, "And Kim Cheonsa was a veil of my former shell… This is the true me…"

POW!
She socked at her and grinned evilly, "YOU WON'T LEAVE! THIS IS WHERE I BELOOOOOOOOOOONG!"

She started to punch at her, as Krystle defended herself, "KIM! KIM, SNAP OUT OF IT!" She thought, "Dammit! What's gotten into her? She's gone psycho! We are free to go, and she doesn't want to leave!"

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! YOU WOULD ABANDON ME!" She grabbed her neck, and Krystle whispered, "I'm sorry… STONE WIND!" She wrapped her arms up, as Krystle cried out, "Snap out of it, Kim! It's me!"

Kim roared, "UNTIE ME!"

"Kim, don't you know who I am?"

"Yeah, you're Krystle Giese! I know exactly who you are, bitch!" She broke out and roared, "YOU'RE NOT LEAVING!" She punched and kicked her, as she cried, "I HATE YOU HATE YOU HATE YOU! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" She strangled her, as she was angry, "Die! DIE! DIE, YOU FUCKING WHORE!"

Krystle gagged, "no… T-T-Think of your family…"
Kim hissed, "Fuck you!"
"Think of the freedom you can get!"
"I'm happy here!"
"THINK OF THE LIFE YOU WILL HAVE!"
"MY LIFE MATTERS NOT OF YOU!"
"T-THINK OF… THINK OF JACE!"

She paused, as she slowly let go, "J-Jace? Jason?" She trembled, as Krystle kneeled up, "Kim, I'm telling the truth… We're pardoned. I don't know what happened, but… Kim… Why are you imprisoned, too?"

Kim growled, "You don't believe me… I attacked my father's fellow National Diet member, all because… he wants to disown me! He blames me for my mother's death!"

Krystle gasped, as Kim was angry, "What do you care, asshole? My father didn't give two shits about me! And all because Mom died… Everything about me was just bullshit! You believe the sweet and innocent Kim is just real, but she's a farce… I'm the real Kim!"

"That is NOT you!" She roared, "Kim! I know what you did is wrong, but it's never you!"

"Screw you! I'm like you… I'm innocent… Father arrested me wrongly! WHY? WHY? BECAUSE THE BASTARD SET ME UP!"

"No… Kim, this is the rage inside you! This isn't you!"

"No… I'm telling the truth!" Kim snarled, "You don't know me. LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"KIM!" She grabbed her and yelled, "YOU ARE NOT ALONE!"
SLAP!
She slapped her, as Krystle roared, "LISTEN TO YOURSELF! Because you were used by your father, because of your Mom's death?! You told me so! Pale Snake killed her! Not you! You did everything for me in this prison!"

Kim whimpered, as she felt her cheek, "Krystle…"

"Kim… Please, Kim… I'm going with you. You cannot let her father get you. He… He had no right. But that doesn't mean you would take it out on everybody."

"But… It's too late…"

"THERE THEY ARE!" The guards surrounded them, as one guard called, "Are you Kim Cheonsa?"

Krystle said, "That's her!" Kim roared, "ASSHOLE! I WON'T BE IN SOLITARY, BECAUSE OF YOU! FUCK OFF, SCREWS! I'M NOT LEAVING! SHOOT ME! YOU JUST TRY!"

Krystle barked, "GO AHEAD AND RUN! SEE WHAT HAPPENS! Go escape to your secret room… or stay and face your punishment! But will it bring your mother back?"

Kim stopped, as Krystle continued, "If you leave using your Stand, it shows what a coward you are. Kim, this is your choice. I'm not just doing this for you… You're free now. I'm doing this for my friends and family…"

"Friend?"

"Kim… … …I'm sorry. It's over. Just accept that your time here is done, and come out. You wanted to see daylight again… Right?"

Kim was in a stalemate, as she was shaken. She bowed her head and she was in tears. "But… I… Jason…"

"He's waiting for you." Krystle responded, "He knows, too…"

Kim was conflicted, as she was fighting against herself.

The lead guard called, "Kim Cheonsa, you're coming with us. The governor pardoned you… You're free! Listen to Miss Giese! Don't do anything that you'll regret… We are well-armed. Miss Cheonsa…"

Krystle used Stone Wind to wrap her pinky, and she responded, "Trust me… Kim, I'm sorry… I know you didn't mean to… And I know you didn't do it."

She looked at her hands and wept, "W… Wh… What have I done?"

Kim was trembling, and then dropped to her knees, "No…" She held herself and sobbed, "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Krystle hugged her, as she whispered, "It's alright, Kim…"

Kim was bawling, as Krystle hugged her tight. She raised her hands and said, "Don't shoot. She's giving up. Kim, it's over. You're free."

Kim bawled, sobbing her heart out, as Krystle comforted her. She nodded, "Give me a little more time."

As Krystle held Kim tight, Kim was sad. She's happy she's free, but she is upset that she still had a crime committed.

Except…

At Korea, a man in black hair and glasses, wearing a suit, was growling. He had a brief phone call. And he learned the news. His daughter, Kim Cheonsa, was freed.

"I don't know how they found out…" Kang Cheonsa said, "What I did to my daughter… was justice. But to be found out, because of an anonymous tip… My plans for reelection are thrown away." He turned to a woman in black hair, wearing a gown, "I'm sorry, Sung Lee… I will ask for your notice, immediately. You're discharged."

Sung Lee, the woman that pretended to be Kim, was crying, as she was dismissed by her former employer.

XXXXX

At the trial, the judge called out, "In light of this new evidence, by the disgraceful Kang Cheonsa, Kim's father… I have no choice but to throw out the case entirely. I also would come to attention the report by Hawley & Slater of Krystle Giese's attempted murder… and learned that yes, the plea bargain stands. However, perjury was made in secrecy, and that is something that is unintended. Therefore, the verdict on Miss Giese's crime stands, but the convicted shall be released, due to perjury done by Mr. Romero.
While this act of vehicular assault was made, Mr. Romero did left out some discriminating evidence. Justice has been made, but perjury is unacceptable. Mr. Romero has broken oath. And I have no choice.
Effective immediately, Miss Giese, Mister Brighton, and Miss Cheonsa are each given a full pardon. However, we are ordered to give Kang Cheonsa his side of the story. He has 30 days to comply, or face legal action. Moreover, his daughter, Miss Cheonsa, will be under probation, until Mr. Cheonsa steps forward for his testimony.
This court is adjourned."

The fans cheered, as Gil laughed, knowing he won. Homura walked off, as Ray was furious. "God… … … dammit… She got me… Who was she?"

And so, Krystle, Jace, and Kim were freed. And now, they have one final objective – Ritsu Tainaka and Pale Snake.

At New York, Asahi read the profile:
"Kim Cheonsa was abused by her father, Kang Cheonsa, and set her up as the person who assaulted the Prime Minister of Laos. However, due to further evidence, a woman named Sung Lee Seong posed as the daughter and pretended to be the girl. In light of the new evidence, Krystle Giese, Kim Cheonsa, and Jason Brighton were given a full pardon. Korean Diet member Kang Cheonsa, Kim's father, refused to comment on the matter."

The others were shocked, as Miki whispered, "That man… Why would he accuse his own daughter of a crime she didn't commit?"

Yamabuki said, "All that matters is that Krystle Giese and her friends are freed. And we learned somethin' else…" She showed the text, and she replied, "Pale Snake. She was under us, all along."

Mundy asked, "Do you know who she is?"

Asahi said, "We got the text. Pale Snake's user is a priest… Her name is…"

Farra's text read:
"Whatever it is you got on that disc, Asa, tell everyone.
Pale Snake is Father Ritsu, the traitor to the Watchers. She killed Azusa."

A hush fell, as Asahi said the identity, "Ritsu Tainaka."

(MIO): "For this to work, you need many possible tasks.
The first need is my Stand, The World. My Stand is the first important tool… beyond my powers…"
(transitions to DIO): "…of My Stand lies the path you must travel, in order to find the gate to Heaven."

Ritsu is shown, seated on the couch, in MIO's home.

(DIO): "The second need is for you to have a trustworthy friend. HE must be someone whose selfish desires are to be controlled. Not for sex, wealth, power, or fame. He must be free of all of those things. And above all, it must be someone who chooses God's will, over the law of humans. The question is… Will I, DIO, be able to meet this person with that trait, someday?"

The Punishment Ward was strewn with a huge amount of trees, grown from the corpses of the inmates that killed each other, thanks to MIO's bone.

(DIO): "Additionally, you will also need the souls of the worst sinners that ever existed. And 36 is all I need. That is because the souls of the sinned harbor a strong power from within.
Of equal note, there are 14 words you'll need to keep in mind. And to prevent ever forgetting these words, they will be engraved into my Stand, so that I will never forget them myself.
That of most necessity is Courage. I'm loathed to do so, but I must have that courage to relinquish my Stand, just once. As it gradually decays, my Stand will take form and absorb the souls of the 36 sinners. It will then give birth to something anew. Whatever spawned creature is born will be awakened. And once these fourteen words are spoken from my trusted friend, this newborn will express a keen interest."

The baby Stand devoured Ritsu's arm, as she accepts her fate.

(DIO): "In this moment, my friend will find me trustworthy, and I will befriend this new entity.
Lastly, the appropriate location you need. North Latitude, 28 degrees, 24 minutes, West Longitude, 80 degrees, 36 minutes."

The cell doors opened, as Ritsu appeared in her hooded attire, with longer hair than before. She sighed, as she was waiting to leave.

(DIO): "Go there! Wait patiently for the next New Moon."
(MIO): "That, my friend… is when Heaven will come."

Ritsu walked past the guard, as he said, "Oh, good morning, Father. It's been a while since we saw you. I see you grew your hair out. When was the last time you came home?"

She thought, as she was calm, "I have no further use for this place now."

Ritsu departed, as the doors slammed shut. She thought, as she smirked, "My work here is done. I have everything under control. The baby that consumed me has already been absorbed into my body. It belongs to me now." She was outside the prison and she waited, "The only thing left for me to do now… is to wait for my fated time to go to heaven."

She removed her hood, showing her longer hair and bangs. She also sports a star on the back of her neck. Ritsu's next stop: The Gate to Heaven.

To be continued…
