Mr. Samandarin charged forward and threw the spear at Johan's direction. Felicia quickly summoned The Rose who grew a wall of vines. The spear impaled right through the wall, just inches away from Felicia's face. She jumped back as the vines shriveled up and crumbled to bone dust as Mr. Samandarin charged forward and pointed a finger right at her. The bones poked through but before he could give the command to fire, Good struck him in the face. Not that it did any good. His skin had already turned into bone, resulting in the spot where the bullet hit cracking up, but the cracks immediately healed.

"Damn," cursed Leatherleaf. "I take back what I said. My bullets don't hurt him!"

"No... But it does leave holes in his armor," JoJo realized. "Felicia! Have The Rose pry open the holes Good Bad Ugly creates while Wally, you throw the boomshrooms at them!"

"Uh, how? I'm not a Stand user!" Johan summoned DARE and used it to lift Wally off the ground. "Hey! I'm flying! This is just like magic!"

"Just shut up and throw the damn mushrooms!"

"Like I'm going to let you! Bone Machine Gun!" Mr. Samandarin's left arm popped out three hollow bone tubes that fired bone bullets at the hobo minstrel, but The Rose appeared and blocked it with a wall of vines. Unfortunately, the bullets still broke through the wall, forcing DARE to move Wally out of the way. Distracted, Mr. Samandarin didn't see Good Bad Ugly strike him in the back. The Rose summoned roots to pull open the cracks and Johan shouted, "Wally! Throw them at his back!"

"Okay!" Wally did so and Mr. Samandarin let out a yell of pain before he let out a growl.

"Hurts, doesn't it?" asked Johan.

"Not as much as this will!" Mr. Samandarin yanked a piece of his arm bone out, sharpened it and threw it at Johan. A root summoned by The Rose grabbed it before it turned to bone dust. Good Bad Ugly then shot at his head, and this time Wally threw the boomshrooms at hole without even waiting for The Rose to pry it open. Mr. Samandarin fell to the ground, groaning.

"That's it! We got him!" A bone struck Wally in the shoulder and he lost his grip on the box as he felt his entire right arm harden up. "Not my idea for a stiffy but..."

"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Mr. Samandarin yanked out his spine again and turned it into a whip. "I'll take you out first, JoJo!" The whip stretched out and was about to pierce the boy's chest when a ball of light struck the whip and shattered it. Mr. Samandarin turned to see Hopediah who was glowing a little with ripples forming under his feet. "Wait. You can use Ripples? So the report was right." But Mr. Samandarin didn't lose his cool. "No matter. Only a Stand can destroy another Stand. And since mine doesn't have a physical form, you coming here means nothing."

"Oh, I know Ripples can't kill Stands. Stand users on the other hand... Ripple Cutter!" Hopediah spat out a Ripples-powered wad of saliva that shot out of his mouth like a bullet and right at Mr. Samandarin's face. The salamander immediately hardened his facial area with an extra layer of bone...except for the spot Hopediah was really aiming at. "I couldn't help but notice you didn't harden your eyes when you activate your powers. You must keep them from turning into bone in order to see what you're doing."

Mr. Samandarin smirked as he lowered his hand and revealed his right eye had already turned to bone and was forming cracks. Yet, despite that, blood was seeping out. "Very clever, frog. Sadly, I had used my Stand at the last second. Had I been a second too slow, you might have actually killed me." He pointed hand to the old frog and formed the barrel of a gun from his bones.

Hopediah couldn't see the Stand, but he knew right away what it was aiming at. "Oh frog..."

But just before Mr. Samandarin could fire his bone bullets, DARE suddenly appeared and jammed its fingers into the barrel. There was a loud explosion and Mr. Samandarin let out a scream of pain. Now both of DARE's arms had become hard as bone and he couldn't move them, which means Johan felt the same. "Ow," he groaned. "I can't believe that actually worked. Normally that only happens in cartoons."

"How am I feeling this pain?!" screamed Mr. Samandarin as he clutched his arm.

"Simple, really. Your Stand is fused to your skeleton. That's how you're able to project these bone weapons. However, exposed bone is even more sensitive to touch when out in the open. And since DARE can amplify and dull the five senses, it would be easy for him to make it unbearable for you to even try to use your weapons."

"Y-YOU LITTLE PRICK! HOW DARE YOU!" Mr. Samandarin lunged at the boy with blind rage, but some roots popped out of the ground before he could stab him with a bone dagger.

"You didn't forget me did you?" asked Felicia with The Rose behind her. "So rude, treating a woman like that."

"Shut up!" Spines burst out from Mr. Samandarin's back and shot out at her. The Rose stopped them with a wall of leaves, but the spines burst right through it. Before they could impale her though, Good Bad Ugly shot out of Leatherleaf's gun and deflected them. Then the sheriff's Stand focused one weak spot Johan unknowingly produced: the wound in Mr. Samandarin's arm.

The three bullets flew into the hole, and up through the bloodstream and into the heart and lungs before exiting out the salamander's mouth, who began vomiting blood. Those affected by Bad To The Bone's Stoneman Syndrome started to feel its effects begin to wear off. "Hey, I can move again," exclaimed Wally. "I can dance! I can sing! WELL~!"

"Not now," shouted Johan. "He's still alive!"

"How?" asked Leatherleaf. "Good Bad Ugly burst open his heart!"

"Did you remember what I said? About his Stand fused with his skeleton?"

"Yeah, but what's that gotta do with..." At that moment, the salamander's skeleton tore itself free from his body and let out a growl. "Oh."

The skeleton's hands and tail grew claws which it then began throwing at the heroes, forcing them to dodge and run from the mad attacks. "I think we made him angry," exclaimed Hopediah as avoided getting hit by the tail.

"Yeah, I didn't really think this through," yelled Johan as he ducked to avoid getting decapitated.

"So what now, genius?" asked Leatherleaf.

"Well, when all else fails, there's always one surefire way to defeat the enemy. One surefire way, yes. But you all have to do exactly as I say."

"Whatever plan you've got, I'm all ears," said Felicia.

"...Evadere~!" Johan screamed as he turned tail and ran in the opposite direction.

Felicia shouted, dumbfounded, "WHAT?! THAT'S YOUR BIG IDEA?!"

"Eh, works for me," said Hopediah as he ran. "I had the same idea for a long time."

As the group ran with the enraged Mr. Samandarin at their heels, Johan tried to think of a plan, but in all honesty, he didn't really know what to do. Then he saw salvation. "Yeah." He yelled at Mr. Samandarin, "Oi! How does it feel knowing you're about to lose? Oh, and this is the part where you say, 'Lose?! You're the one who's going to lose! LOSE YOUR HEADS!'"

"Lose?! You're the one who's going to lose! LOSE YOUR HEADS!" He gasped when he realized he just parroted what Johan said. "How did you...?"

"Typical generic bad guy speech! I saw it coming a mile away! You're just as predictable as Mr. Bufo! You're just lucky I have the decency to spare you even if you are a real piece of shit!"

"HUH?! WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" Before Mr. Samandarin could impale Johan, a red gas began to seep its way into the cracks in his skull. "What..."

"There had to be an organic bit of you still left, Mr. Samandarin, and I realized what it was. The only organ completely encased in bone: the brain. How else do you explain how you're controlling the skeleton? Which is why Ram Bamboo used her Stand to pour explosive gas into your eye holes."

"R-Ram Bamboo?"

"That's right," said the yellow frog girl as she stepped out from a tree. "Green Onions poured methane into your brain case. All it needs now is a lit match and..."

"Or in this case, a single bullet," said Leatherleaf as he took out his gun.

Mr. Samandarin let out a growl. "YOU PLANNED ALL THIS FROM THE START, JOJO?!"

"That's right! I set a trap and you fell for it gloriously! Everything worked like clockwork!" And with that, Leatherleaf pulled the trigger and the bullet went right trough Mr. Samandarin's eye hole and into the brain case. The explosion in such a small space destroyed his skull entirely, sending bone fragments everywhere. The headless skeleton collapsed into a pile of bones and did not move.

"Is he dead?" asked Leatherleaf.

"His head blew up into a thousand pieces. Of course he's dead," pointed out Ram Bamboo. "But, JoJo, I have to ask, did you really plan all this from the start?"

Johan fell onto his rear and made a small laugh. "No. I just got lucky. Truth be told, I was scared the whole fucking time. Lo stavo volando."

"And that is how we killed Mr. Samandarin," Johan finished his story to the townsfolk. It had been several hours since then, and Johan was covered in bandages to the point where he started to look like a mummy.

"So, what's going to become of Blue Oyster Cult's stragglers?" asked the baker, Mr. Flour.

"Yeah," said Sylvia. "Are they gonna come after us now that you killed their boss?"

"We destroyed their only money maker, killed their dealers and their boss. I don't think they're gonna come after us. Especially since no one in the lower ranks are Stand users."

"Well, that's good enough for me," said the mayor.

Johan sat on a bench and exhaled. "Well, that's the end of chapter of my new life here. Dad's not going to believe this."

"So, what do we do now?" asked Ram Bamboo as she sat down next to the boy.

"Now? Now La Passione della Rana can really make its mark on Amphibia."

"Didn't we just do that? I thought taking out Blue Oyster Cult was the whole point."

"No. This is just the beginning," Johan said with an ambitious smile. "We're going to build, watch, and act accordingly. And in the process, I'll find my friends and the way home."

Meanwhile at Toad Tower...

"Uh, Captain Grime?"

"What, Percy? I'm waiting for Mr. Samandarin to arrive. The letter said he would arrive in two hours. That was a day ago!"

The young toad guard shuffled his feet. "Uh, yeah, about that, Captain? He's dead."

"WHAT?!"

"Please, don't hit me!"

"That pond gack promised to pay me for protection and he kicked the bucket on the way here?! Who did it? One of the frogs?"

"No. Actually, from I could tell, he was done in by a strange creature, called itself JoJo."

"JoJo? What kind of stupid name is JoJo? And what does it look like?"

"Giant head with yellow hair, spindly limbs, face bump nose, wore a red jacket, white shirt and green pants. Very strange fashion choice, I might add. I wonder where he got it from."

Captain Grime's eyes suddenly widened. That sounded an awful lot like... He marched down to the prison where the only prisoner was still sitting, glaring at him. "Sasha, Mr. Samandarin was killed. By one of your kind, goes by the name of JoJo." Sasha's eyes widened. "So you do know him. Now we know that you've been lying to us. Now we know that there are more of you." He grabbed Sasha by the hair and held her up to her eye level. "And you're going to tell us everything you know about this...JoJo."
