Jonathan slowly opened his eyes. "Where...why.." His eyes opened fully now and he looked down at his hands. "Unreal..though I remember with clarity that I was in the embrace of death and would soon be with the Lord, yet I am alive and breathing, in unfamiliar forest land." Jonathan said. He looked around. He was alone, but he knew it wouldn't be for long. "I know in my heart that this is not Heaven, no, Heaven would be much grander. Though, I know this must be God's work. I wonder, was it my destiny to have died on that boat? I feel as though, I have defied the fate set for me. Just what is the reason that I am alive? is it some greater purpose? has the Lord willed it so I may go on somehow? perhaps there is something here, waiting for me. But what, and why?" Jonathan asked no one in particular aloud, pondering his own existence. He suddenly stood up, coming to a horrifying realization. "D-Dio!! surely if I live now, my Brother lives, at full strength as well!! I must hurry and get to him, lest any innocents be harmed in his path of needless destruction that he would create, trying to find me." Jonathan said, knowing full well his adopted Brother was out there, ready to cause trouble. And so with a brisk pace, Jonathan set out on his mission to stop Dio once again, walking through the forest.

Now, this was just perfect. Dio had no idea [i]why[/i] he had his body back, but that hardly mattered right now. "Once that I, Dio, find JoJo, I will take his fabulous body for myself, and then I will rid myself of the rest of the remaining Ripple users. I am sure he is around here somewhere. The sun is out, but luckily this forest is thick enough it provides shade. This body is at risk out in the sunlight, lest I become that pathetic form I was in, having to be carried around. I, Dio swear to myself I will use this chance wisely. I may have to wait until sundown. Where are you, JoJo? I'm right here, come and find me. [b]Wrrrrrrrrrrry!![/b]" Dio let out the ungodly sounding vampire war cry. "Though, I am in a place I do not recognize. I do not know these woods, so I may be in unfamiliar lands. I must be ready to act if I come upon natives." Dio said, and continued to look for Jonathan, walking through the forest.
