Miguel wakes up next to the Ark of the Covenant. He can't move for some reason.

"I had my soldiers inject you with a pufferfish's poison," said Salvi, as he prayed to the Ark of the Covenant.

Salvi meditated silently.

"Spiral staircase, Rhinoceros beetle, Desolation Row, Fig tart, Rhinoceros beetle, Via Dolorosa, Rhinoceros beetle, Singularity point, Giotto, Angel, Hydrangea, Rhinoceros beetle, Singularity point, Secret emperor... Spiral staircase-..."

Salvi repeated these words over and over again.

It's night already. The New Moon has come. 

Energies began to appear from Miguel's body as he screams in pain.

"It's you, Miguel JoJo..." whispered Salvi, as he brought out the arrow and prepared to stab his Stand.

"Thus comes... THE WORLD's Requiem..." whispered Salvi.

Salvi lunges the arrow in his Stand.

*TING*

Salvi stabbed his Stand...

But...

It didn't choose him.

The top of the arrow falls off.

"WHAT!?" asked Salvi.

But... Salvi had no faith in himself. Therefore, Salvi was not worthy. Salvi has no power in this world.

"So..." he chuckled. "That's what the visions meant..."

Miguel is now sitting in an Indian Sit, meditating and connecting in the Universe itself.

Before...

"Salvi!" shouted Dominador.

Salvi walked into the room, puts his right hand on his chest, and bowed.

"Yes, father?" asked Salvi.

"Low grades again! I expected more of you, Salvi!"

*WHIP*

"Forty lashes on each arm," said Dominador. "As per usual."

Later...

"I believe in you, Salvi!" shouted Damaso. "You can inherit what I am!"

Damaso puts his hands on Salvi's shoulder.

"You can be so much more, Salvi! You can be our people's savior!" shouted Damaso.

"You can make things better!"

"I believe in you!"

"If you can't do it, then you're no better than them."

"That's why only you can save the world and most importantly... our people."

Now...

Arthur wakes up, gasping for breath.

"What the hell? Where the hell am I?" 

Arthur looks around.

The Crusaders are at the base of a mountain as they sense massive Stand Energy coming from on top of it.

"Where's Jedan?" asked Arthur.

The others look down. Anne closes her eyes and shakes her head.

"We're gonna die," said Anne. "We're gonna die... We're gonna fail! We're gonna-!"
