1938. The second world war rages. Threatening to engulf more nations around the globe with each passing day. As the German army grows, it seeks to conquer the world with technology and weapons that stand at the cutting edge of science. However, they also research astrology, sorcery, alchemy and psychic powers. They seek to gain advantages through every manner imaginable in their quest for global domination. And it was through this tenacity that one of their spy networks in Mexico caught wind of Straizo's actions and into the ears of Major Rudol von Stroheim.

"Major von Stroheim!" A german soldier called out as he entered a room where his Major was mocking his servants. "The old man found on the bank of the Rio Da da, he is now awake Major von Stroheim. Shall we interrogate, sir?" In the base's infirmary, Speedwagon finally regains consciousness. Alive, but confused. He had no idea that he's being held captive.

Back in New York, the sun had finally risen over the grand city. Joseph and Lily had gotten the woman to safety by bringing her down to the ground. As Lily was checking her over for anymore injuries, Joseph had chosen this to be an appropriate time to flirt. "Are you alright miss? Can you tell me your name? Allow me to escort you home." He said. The woman jumped to her feet and sucker punched Joseph right in the face. "Why in the hell did you do that?!" Joseph shouted. He helped save her life and this is the thanks he gets!?

"You got some nerve calling me a floozie, you big brute! Just who do you think you are, huh?!" The woman shouted at him. Joseph looked, surprisingly, confused and didn't seem to remember calling her by that title. How convenient. "What? I never said that." Joseph said. "No. You did. You said that you would never fight for a floozie like her." Smokey said. He should know, he was right there when he said it. "Really?" Joseph said as he rubbed the back of his head nervously as he tried to apologise. "Wow, I didn't mean it. I'm really sorry about that, it just happened kinda." Smokey and Lily gave each other looks of scepticism. Yeah...right.

At the exact same time, both Lily and the woman gave a hard kick to Joseph's legs. Joseph let out a cry of pain as he crouched down and nursed his poor legs. "Asina (Jackass)..." Lily muttered. "Yeah, I'm sure it just happens every time you talk about a woman." The reporter said. Joseph hissed in pain as he stared at the reporter. "Your mouth okay?" He asked. The woman seemed to only now realise her lost tooth and screamed out loud. Joseph let out a sigh as he stood up. "Looks like the adrenaline from her fear just wore off."

"I wouldn't worry about that tooth, honey. After all you have so many cavities in your mouth, that it'd be lucky if the tooth had removed a few. Also the bleeding should stop soon, so you'll be fine." Lily told the reporter. She then turned to Joseph and said, "Now then, I think it's time we took a trip to Mexico. I have to get more information about the Pillar Man Straizo was talking about, and you have a role in this too." Lily offered her hand to Joseph and gave a rather friendly smile. "My name's Lily Fawn. Pleasure to meet you." Joseph stared at her for a brief moment before giving a smile and shaking her hand. "Joseph Joestar. All my friends call me JoJo."

Meanwhile in Mexico, Speedwagon had come to grips of his predicament and found himself in a full-body straitjacket. He was glad he wasn't dead yet, but he didn't care for the idea of being held hostage. He shifted his eyes to see Stroheim. A tall, well-built man of masculine facial features. Blue-eyed and has blonde hair that involves a short flat-top and a length at his neck. He wears a range of official Nazi military attire. "How are you feeling, Speedwagon? There's a saying in Europe that comes to mind. "The village in which the elderly kill each other is not long for this world." You have a secret. A secret that is very dangerous and could kill us all."

Stroheim walked over to a panel and pressed a button which activates the metal blinds to open in the infirmary. Stroheim turned back to Speedwagon and stared at him intently. "I want answers now!" He shouted as he pointed at what was present behind him. Speedwagon's eyes widened as he let out a gasp at what he was seeing. He couldn't believe that they had somehow brought with them. The Pillar Man. Somehow, they had excavated him from the cave and brought him here. But for what reason?
