Summary
Joseph arrives in Rome and awaits for the one Stroheim told him to meet in a restaurant. He becomes irritated by a player at another table who turns out to be Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, grandson of Will Zeppeli and the one that was to meet Joseph. Meanwhile, Speedwagon is revealed to be alive and the stone remains of Santana were transferred to the foundation headquarters. They discover that despite its immobile state, the remains are still very much alive, but they are able to use UV Lights to subdue it. They also discover the masks to the other Pillar Men, with Santana's appearing to be in the lowest tier.

Speedwagon meets up with Joseph and Caesar at a fountain where he introduces the two. The two don't get along well, as Caesar holds a grudge against Joseph's grandfather for letting Will Zeppeli die. He also comments on Joseph's lack of skill and assumes his victory over Santana was merely luck. Joseph becomes enraged by Caesar's comments and tries to attack him, only to be stopped by a lady Caesar had kissed and was controlling using the Ripple. Joseph is thrown by the lady into the fountain, and Caesar follows with his secret ripple technique, Bubble Launcher. Caesar unleashes a massive torrent of Ripple infused bubbles, that knocks Joseph away and surrounds him in a giant bubble. Joseph is unable to escape the bubble and slowly loses consciousness. Fortunately, Caesar attempts to kiss the woman again, only for a Ripple infused pigeon to come flying out of the her mouth and into Caesar's. The fight ends and the group heads into the hotel.

In the hotel, Joseph and Caesar have a game of cards, after which a German Nazi car arrives. The driver of the car is a young man that goes by the name of Mark, who came to deliver them to where the other Pillar Men were found. Along the way, Caesar reveals that the Nazis had been interested in the ripple and using it in order to to figure out away to defeat the Pillar Men.

Under the Coliseum, the Nazis investigate a hole appearing in one of the Pillar Men statues. The superior hopes that after cutting the pillar out, they will seal it up so they never again see the light of day. Suddenly, a spike impales one of the Germans, and the Germans try to set up more UV lamps, but the spike uses the blood of the soldiers to block out the lights. The statue awakens and is known as Wamuu. He then sticks the hands of the soldiers and the officer together, then sucks the German officer's life force dry, then all of the soldiers at the same time, leaving them husks. Wamuu then awakens his masters, Esidisi and Kars.

They arrive at the cave where the Pillar Men are, only to find out they had already awakened and killed the Nazi's within. Mark attempts to run away, but Wamuu walks into him, and thus half his body is absorbed. Kars explains his plan to find the Red Stone of Aja, that was once possessed by the Roman Emperor, in order to unlock the power of the Stone Mask. Caesar is forced to use the Ripple to end his friend's life instantly, and challenges the Pillar Men on his own.
