   " JoJo. "

   " JoJo. "

   " JoJo! "

I hit Joseph's head with my elbow and he woke up surprised. We had caught up with the train and it's stopped at the station. We were parked behind the train to the left. It took some time but JoJo woke up when I hit the top of his head.

   " Hey! "

   " Finally, we've caught up to the train. "

   " You could've woke me up a bit more gently. "

   " Nope. "

   " What the hell are they doing in a car on the Swiss-Italian border? " I heard Caesar ask.

I looked back and saw a german car behind us. It was weird seeing them again and it reminded me of Mark.

   " Well, well. You're looking rather spry. " The person in the back seat of the car said.

His voice sounded familiar. I had heard that voice somewhere before, but I couldn't put my finger on it. 

   " My, you have grown so much, Joestar. It seems you've gotten even more beautiful Ms. Y/n. "

   " What? Who is this guy? " JoJo asked getting out of the car. 

The car started going around us while JoJo stood out of the car and called for the german car to come back. They didn't come back and continued forward.

   " Hey, come back! I don't know any german soldiers! "

The car stopped and parked beside one of the doors to the train. There were a lot of soldiers around and one jumped out of the train car carrying the package we need to grab. He handed it to the german soldier that talked to us before. He ripped open the package and took out The Red Stone of Aja.

   " I don't understand. Why do the Germans want it? " Lisa Lisa asked.

   " We have decided to take the stone as a specimen for our scientific research program. " The german said answering Lisa Lisa.

   ' Are we that loud that he can hear us? '

   " For the past three weeks, we have been watching your every move while you were operating in Venice. We began the surveillance when we lost our team in Rome. We saw your training, we saw Esidisi, and we knew you were chasing the stone. Now, our base is set up at a lodge up ahead. Follow us. We want to ask a few questions about the stone and about Kars. Why not work together, eh? After all, we are not complete strangers, JoJo, Y/n. 

   ' I wish he didn't have his hat tilted so far down and then we could see his face and see who this is. '

   " Hey! What are you blabbering about? I don't know anyone by the likes of you, bastard! "

   " JoJo, do you think it could be Stroheim? "

   " I couldn't be. He died with that grenade in his hand. "

Caesar pressed the gas pedal and we started following the German car. We followed them for five hours until we reached a vast cabin hotel. Except it was occupied by German soldiers. We still couldn't tell who the soldier was that talked with us. We all got out of the cars and entered the building. We sat in a room drinking tea waiting for the soldier to come and talk with us. Our stomachs were growling for food, but none came. 

   " This is ridiculous! I'm starving! "

   " JoJo just sit back down and wait! " Caesar yelled.

   " I'll go with him. He's not going to stop until he gets something to eat. "

   " Yell for us if something happens. " Lisa Lisa said.

I nodded at her and followed JoJo around the halls and into rooms. We didn't find anyone that could help us.

   " What's a guy gotta do to ger a little food in here? " He asked opening another door. 

When he opened the door we saw the soldier that talked with us earlier and Kars. Kars appearance had changed since we last saw him. He was wearing black clothes and a black shaw around his head. 

   " Kars! "

   " Kars! " 

He jumped at the soldier with a blade coming out of his arm, but when his blade made contact with the arm of the soldier it didn't have any effect. It destroyed the cloth but all the remained was a mechanical hand.

   " Huh? This man's mechanical. " I could hear him say.

   " Wait a minute. "

The soldier's hat was also torn in half and when it fell off of his head, it revealed his hair.

   " You're Von Stroheim! "

   " I called it! "

   ' I also just realized this but with Jonathan when we met Dire his hairstyle is almost the same as Von Stroheim's. Stroheim's is cleaner and the block of hair is perfectly straight but is there going to be a man with this kind of hair every generation or something? '

Von Stroheim had his left ear replaced with a mechanical piece that stretched to his eye and around his nose. He was smirking slightly at Kars.

   " That's how he could hear us so well. His ear is mechanical and with the technology, he can hear farther than the average person. " I said starring at him. 

   " As you two can see, I'm back from hell. " He said turning towards us. 

   " Should I be happy about it? " JoJo asked running his hand through his hair.

   " JoJo, he's not a bad guy when you get down to it, plus he's helping us. " I said hitting JoJo's arm and smiling towards Stroheim.

JoJo smiled back at him and Stroheim smiled at the two of us.

   " Why don't you make yourselves at home on the sofa and watch me, while I do my work? "

   ' Doesn't sound too bad to me. '

My eyes left Stroheim and looked at Kars. Kars was glaring at us. I stepped away from JoJo and saw that it was only JoJo he was glaring at. It sent a chill up my spine. 

   ' Because he killed Esidisi. '

   " JoJo, once I'm finished securing the stone, I'm going to put an end to you. It's too bad Wamuu is still off working in Greece. I can't allow a Hamon user who was able to defeat Esidisi to remain alive."

   " Tell me something, Kars, do you speak as a warrior, or are you after something else, like revenge? "

Kars glare got even worse and he looked ready to Kill JoJo.

   " Pay attention. You're fighting me. I'm the one whose going to be your final opponent. "

   " No machine can stop me. "

   " Is that right? "

His arm moved quickly and it maneuvered around in an inhuman way and pinched the flesh on Kars's hand. 

   " Now for the fun. "

   " Wait. He's-"

His fingers squeezed the flesh off of his hand and Kars jumped away from him.

   " You utter fool! German science is the finest in the world! "

   " Not this again. " I whispered, putting my fingers on my temple.
