Elsewhere in the graveyard, [[Poco]] attempts to tell two thugs about the zombie knights, who do not believe his story at first but run off in fear upon seeing [[Tarkus]]. Fortunately, [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] comes to Poco’s aid, with [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|Zeppeli]] and [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Speedwagon]] behind him. Tarkus proclaims his devotion to the art of massacre and strikes the earth with his massive sword, causing the ground beneath Jonathan and his allies to give way. The group jumps from the crumbling rocks, which reveal the ruins of a training ground for knights. After drinking the blood of Poco's two bullies, Tarkus charges at his adversaries, who are now cornered at the cliff's edge. Jonathan and Zeppeli, noticing scattered leaves on the ground, decide to use the Ripple to [[Ripple#Life Magnetism Overdrive| magnetize the leaves into a single giant leaf]], which the party uses as a hang glider to escape Tarkus.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 31}}</ref>
 
Zeppeli begins to explain his past concerning the Ripple to the group. After Zeppeli's first encounter with the [[Stone Mask]], he swore to find it and destroy it, and began to search the world for the mask. Two years into his search, he found a young man in India who called himself a doctor and could heal a patient's leg wound by simply touching it. Upon asking how the doctor got this ability, Zeppeli was told to go up the Nuu River and seek a master named [[Tonpetty]]. Zeppeli eventually arrived at Tonpetty's temple, where the soon-to-be master and pupil shook hands. Zeppeli does not tell his companions of Tonpetty's warning: if Zeppeli were to train under him, he would one day meet an evil enemy and die by their hand.
