Chapter 14
Summary
The injured Speedwagon tries to warn Jonathan to flee, and that it would be suicide to fight Dio. Speedwagon is on the ground, now with broken ribs and an arm, and is angry that instead of being able to help Jojo he can only sit there and be a burden to him. Undeterred by his friend's pleas, Jonathan theorizes that since the stone mask unlocks the secret potential of the human brain, the only way to kill Dio at this point is to destroy his brain completely.
Suddenly, the corpse of the policeman that Dio previously sucked the life out of reanimates and crawls toward Speedwagon, intending to suck his blood. However, before the undead policeman can begin to drain Speedwagon, Jonathan strikes its head with his spear, decapitating the undead officer. Dio then attacks Jonathan from above. Thinking quickly, Jonathan stabs the spear upward, but Dio blocks it with his hand. The spear does puncture Dio's hand, but it stops when Dio grabs it. Dio breaks the spear in two using only his hand, and the point of spear pierces the left side of Jonathan’s collarbone.
Dio turns his back for a moment to gloat, but when he turns around Jonathan and Speedwagon have both disappeared. After a quick assessment of the foyer, Dio notices some blood leading to the curtain. Thinking that he has found the pair, he pulls the curtain aside and finds that the curtain is on fire. It drapes over Dio, burning him under it, as Jonathan and Speedwagon look on from across the room.
